Don't get me wrong, being without electricity and the damage the storms have caused this year has been awful. Hopefully dinner will be done and the storm will pass by you quickly.
I like to watch lightening, too, and although we have had some pretty bad storms with lots of damage, I don't think it's as bad as what the midwest gets with all the flat lands. Pittsburgh has lots of hills and we are at the foot of the Allegheny Mountains and that all tends to break up the storms quite a bit. For the most part, we are pretty lucky. But snow? The hills and mountains don't help us with that at all!
