We usually get thunder with rain here. But, since I've lived here we've been in drought conditions so there hasn't been much rain at all. Most springs there are a lot of thunderstorms. It never used to bother Smeagol. Could be age related too. She's an old lady dog.

Heard one gunshot somewhere one night last week. About this time of night. Never did hear anything about what it was but I also didn't get up and go outside. I have a couple of firearms right here by me just in case something gets this close. :-)

Well, out here it isn't that unusual to hear gunfire because some critter had the gall to trespass 'cross the yard. You know.... the "It was comin' right for us!" guys.
