Thunderstorms I can do. I like thunderstorms. Some of my fondest, earliest memories are of sitting outside with songdog and our stepdad (on a boat he had drydocked in the back yard, no less) watching the squall lines go by. He was an amateur meteorologist, so we learned terms like dewpoint and isobars when we were just itty.
Tornadoes, however, I can definitely do without. We have a bad history. I've never been around one, but songdog and I used to have dreams about them. Like, the same dreams. It was freaky, I tell ya. We used to go hide in the cellar (cellar = unfinished basement) if the forecast even called for a chance of one. songdog, being older, was resourceful about it. She brought food in case we were there for the long haul.
