Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for April 05, 2023

G O D’s just rolling for a perfect game at duckpins

We lived this scene last night. The only differences were it was earlier in the evening so we were still dressed and we were standing in the open front door watching the storm finally pass, the lighting was just as intense but no hail.

Like Arlo I only sleep half clothed, I love a good t-shirt!

Hope they’re ready to RUMBLLLLLE!

I’ll be under the bed…with the cats. Me no like thunder storms !

We had a tremendous thunder storm at an adult summer camp weekend, so there were no campfire s’mores that night. Lightning strikes were so frequent that I finally video recorded lightning for the first time.

Is this one of those “can you spot six differences between the first and last panels?” strips?

Love this!

Awesome, until it hits the house.

I was told by my Mom to never go to a window in a thunder storm. It’s the first thing I do when I hear thunder.

Good timing. Thunder and lightning here this morning.

Had thunder rattling the glass globes in the ceiling fan last week.

Hubby and our then three-year old granddaughter were sitting on the front porch, watching a storm when lightning struck a tree about 80 feet away. Sheets of bark and splinters exploded everywhere. Amanda slid off Hubby’s lamp and announced, “I think it’s time to go in, Grandpop”.

“I agree with you. Let’s go.”

Nature’s light show.

Electric light show

I love to watch lightning, especially at night.

About 10 years ago, a friend of mine in NC was struck dead by a lighting bolt that supposedly traveled over five miles. Whenever I hear thunder or see lightning I always think of him. Steve was good young man in his thirties with a full life ahead of him. He is missed.

Beautiful and terrifying all at the same time!!

Time to fire up AC/DC " ThunderStruck" Awhile back they were painting or doing some kind of home improvement and Janis said something about playing AC/DC and people started talking about how a lot of their songs are very suggestive.

That depends on just how close that lightning strike was and whether or not you have lightning arrestors or a whole house surge protector. If you don’t, you should invest in one after you replace all your fried electronics, starting with your TVs and computers, but also including your frig, washing machine and HVAC system.

I agree with Arlo, it is awesome.

Most pets hate the sound of thunder because of the change in air pressure hurts their ears. For mine, I just turn on country music and they settle down and relax.

Hugging watching a thunderstorm. How romantic!

Mother nature putting on a great visual and audio demonstration.

We had quite the lightshow here last night!

Nature’s power dwarfs man’s. Too often that is forgotten or ignored

Many years ago, after a thunderstorm had passed through the area, a woman said a blue ball of energy floated through her living room and then disappeared without causing any damage.

This could lead to more huggable moments……..

We had a nice thunderboomer this morning. More are expected during the day.

They should move away from the window if the interval between the flash and sound gets to be less than two panels.

You live in Detroit Jimmie?

My Mom said the thunder was God rolling beer barrels

If dreams were thunderAnd lightning was desireThis old house would’ve burned downA long time ago

Awesome is right! Standing by the window in the dark of night holding your warm nearly naked loved one and watching a wicked storm outside together. Priceless!

Mother Nature is Awesome, I’m living threw some bad storms as I type, tornado watch.

On Earth, the flash comes BEFORE the thunder, Does sound travel faster than light where they live?

When I in awesome wonder, consider all the worlds thy hands have made. I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, the universe thy wonders do display. (Not sure if that is 100% correct, but you get the jist of it.)

I enjoy watching (and hearing) thunder and lightning storms now, but as a kid I was afraid of them … not being scared because of the menace of the storms themselves, but I was afraid that lightning would strike our house and cause a house fire, and I wouldn’t be able to get out. A kid in our neighborhood had died in a house fire (not caused by lightning) at one point, and that made a big impression on me.

Here is Florida, we have more lightning then we know what to do with. Sure wish someone would figure out how to harness that.

We had the first thunderstorm of the calendar year last night. Still impressive after all these years.

Yeah…cool…

Been there, done that. You can tell how frightened she is by how tight she holds you. And by how many cats have skedaddled under the closest bed.

My wife loves thunderstorms. She will open the window to hear them better. I’ve never been frightened by them.
