We keep getting storms forecast,  but nothing round here as yet.
I don't like storms.   They always give me the willies.

I like to see a good storm. So long as there's a decent gap between the flash and the bang

Do  TV ariels on roofs  attract lightning Klondie?


Ooh look,  I just found this:

"The "30-30 rule" for lightning is a universal outdoor safety guideline recommended by the National Weather Service.
It advises that you seek shelter if the time between seeing a lightning flash and hearing the thunder is 30 seconds or less, and that you must wait at least 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder to safely resume activities."

Yes,  but where would you seek shelter?
