Have to Laugh, when I was growing up in Superior, AZ and the rain would begin, the whole family would go out on the screen porch to smell and watch. Of course, the wind and rain would get pretty violent on occasion but nothing like what these folks are experiencing.
Yep, I still head out to sit on the patio whenever it rains. Used to have a dog who would sit beside me and bark every time he would hear thunder. Used to get real cockey when the storm (and thunder) started moving away :o)
