Another storm lover here!
I enjoyed watching the summer thunderstorms develop and approach from the 6th floor of the building I worked at this summer. I remember watching the afternoons sky progress from being filled with billowing cumulus clouds to that high-gray-overcast, kind of a filtered/milky look, that always precedes a big line of evening thunderstorms. Then you'd see the turbulent blue-black shelf-cloud slowly emerge from the darkness on the northwestern horizon. I liked watching the big wall of wind and rain just behind the shelf-cloud engulf everything as it approached. Sometimes it was so abrupt that you could see the rain enveloping buildings less than block away before a single drop had hit my window.
Ooh, yeah! A good thunderstorm is an amazing thing. The deepest rumbling thunder or a sharp clap. Lightning here and there. Rain coming down in torrents. There's something immensely satisfying about simply sitting and observing a storm.
