Let Storm Season Begin

I was never a huge fan of storms. I would usually pace around and look outside wondering if I should run for cover. The last few years I have actually grown more interested and now instead of pacing and wondering if I should run for cover I am fascinated by the clouds and the color of the sky. Back about 15 years ago when I was a fire explorer we were at Camp Tanadoona for the special needs boy scouts weekend when a nasty storm came through camp. We were hauling people in wheel chairs down into storm shelters and running through the camp ground in the pouring rain. The storms finally settled that night but the next morning everyone rushed through breakfast and packed up because another storm was coming through. I think that's when my nervousness about storms wore off. I figured if I made it through that night that storms really aren't that scary.
