Its cool when you see it happening.I have seen it rain across the street but not on my side.
One evening, a long time, was standing on a front porch during a thunderstorm. It was a shock, kinda of like a wake up call, lol, lightning struck a front porch across the street, it was amazing and intense.
But, lol, I must have not learned from that experience. Many many years later, as standing on my back porch to take pictures of lightning
