I wasn’t even thinking about thunderstorms, but you’re right, I would totally miss them! My dogs hate them, but I love a good rumbly light show on a hot summer night, and the cool air that (usually) follows.
Every Midwesterner in the pnw laments the sky not trying to kill us here. It’s lovely and I love it here, but the storms that feel like the end of the world are beautiful and wonderful
Lightning and distant clouds are the only thing I miss about living in the flat Midwest.
Mountains and blizzards are a good trade off though. We get thunderstorms too, but if you see a lightning bolt, you’re probably in danger of either dying or frying some of the electronics in your home. And your ears will be ringing.
i never quite understood how loud thunder could be until lightning struck my apartment’s parking lot. i grew up in earthquake land and thought that’s what was happening.

It hit a phone pole 20 feet from our house once and killed our router and everything connected the the coaxial cable.
All the windows rattled in our house and if it weren’t for the flash you’d think a semi drove into it.
