Lightning shakes more than thunder!

I grew-up watching storms from the comfort of our front porch and only felt threatened when I was up on the ridge out in the open. The beginning of my adult life, I was living up on the ridge and really dreading the coming of a storm. Then one unfateful day we went for a drive and discovered that we drove by something that I had always wanted to avoid. From that day forward, I vowed to never live in an area where I had to deal with severe storms. Tricky I know, as you can’t control the weather. When we moved here, dealing with forest fires wasn’t as bad; however, it was nerve wrecking as there was really nothing that you could do to help prevent the fire from destroying someone's house. Then it happened, a severe storm hit, my son possibly got back inside at the right time, but for our building we live in, that was a whole different story.
