Thunderstruck


Is it normal for thunder to be so powerful that is rumbles for at least 30 seconds and you can feel the vibrations when the boom makes the house shake? I have never heard such loud thunder in my life.

Yeah that's normal. I hate it when it happens while I'm sleeping. Wake up suddenly thinking the world is about to end.

The thunder would echo back and forth off the mountains surrounding our house when I was a kid - it could last for up to a minute. It was deep and powerful and the lightning would light the entire room in the dead of night.
But those were thunder and its echoes. I've never been lucky enough to hear one roll of thunder last 30s by itself, or shake the house.
Now I really want to.

Well wear a diaper if you do hear that kind of thunder like I did tonight. I have regrets that I wasn't wearing one at the time because it scared me enough to fill one.

I love the sound of thunder as it rolls across the landscape. But not if it wakes me up!
Of course, we get it about once every other year or so...

Sticking to a long held tradition of being different, I don't mind when thunder wakes me up. Laying there all cozy and listening to storms happening re moments I like. Especially here in the desert where rain is not so plentiful.
