Best thunderstorms are out west where you can watch them coming from miles away. Out East, they sneak up on you and unless you’ve got a vista, don’t have much of a show.
We had a hefty thunderstorm pass through overnight, which I mercifully slept through.
Sleep has not been going well lately.

This is my favorite description of any city in the history of ever. Every time I hear the city all the Chicago I think this.
Can a chortle be inaudible?
I especially liked thunderstorms when I was in the Navy and out at sea. One of my radar spaces (7 decks above the water line) had an overhang at the entrance hatch. It made for great viewing. If the storm got too severe, I could merely step inside and close the hatch. Fortunately, I never got seasick, as the waves tended to increase during storms. (My ship survived 1 hurricane and 2 tropical storms.)
