Storms/Smell of Rain - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Chance · 09-19-2005, 05:33 PM

I really don't like storms I used to like driving in them when I was high and drunk but now I just don't like them. I do however like the smell of the rain like now and it brings a lot of peace my way after such a very stressful and hard day.

Love Vic

PS The electric went out that is scary

cwohio · 09-19-2005, 05:38 PM

vic - i don't mind the rain, like you. the pitter patter is very soothing and peaceful, but if there is lightning involved - look out! i have a lightning phobia and hide out in my basement when a thunderstorm is approaching.

Chance · 09-19-2005, 05:47 PM

It is lightening right now the electric already has gone out once and now the sirens are going off, OMG it is scary. HELP>

Love Vic

cwohio · 09-19-2005, 05:51 PM

hang in there vic - we're right with you - you have some candles handy? looks like some might be coming my way tonight - guess i'll be sleeping in the basement rec room.

Chance · 09-19-2005, 05:52 PM

I got one but it keeps going out oh well maybe I can go to sleep, yeah right >LOL

**51anna** · 09-19-2005, 05:54 PM

Hey Vic,

Hope the lights are back on! I grew up in an area where rain was the norm and I still love it. I absolutely storms, they're so exciting!

Love, Anna

cwohio · 09-19-2005, 05:54 PM

i'm looking at the radar right now - looks like it will be past you shortly and nothing coming behind it! hang tite!

Chance · 09-19-2005, 05:58 PM

i always keep it up at work and home when there are storms around so i can see where they are - talk about control issues - lol

4health · 09-19-2005, 06:23 PM

I love the smell of rain too. It is a 'clensing' scent and really is relaxing. Keep the candles or flashlights close.

Fire_Wind_Rain · 09-19-2005, 08:27 PM

We had a very rare thunder and lightening storm cell move through San Diego today. It was a trip!

Chy · 09-19-2005, 08:31 PM

Living in the desert I love rain!

Not to go off topic but a Science teacher in my hall was doing a lab experiment in "making the smell of rain"...gotta say it worked but was so nauseating it took me a few months to enjoy the natural scent of rain.

**Ann** · 09-19-2005, 08:42 PM

Vic don't fall asleep with a candle lit!!!

I love a good thunderstorm when it rolls in off the lake. Especially at night when I'm in bed. My mother used to tell me thunder was the angels bowling and lighting was a "strike".

Hugs
Ann

Chy · 09-19-2005, 08:43 PM

..hey my mom told me the same Ann! MUST be true then!

Jupiter2 · 09-19-2005, 08:46 PM

I live in California and it hasn't rained for a long time where I am. All this talk of smelling it and hearing it on the roof makes me want it here now.

Thanks for this peaceful interlude.

Jup.

Chy · 09-19-2005, 08:55 PM

Jupiter, I have a rain and thunderstorm CD I'd gladly share with ya!

Chance · 09-19-2005, 09:19 PM

The rain is still around a little bit but the storm has gone and man what a beautiful thing when I decided to walk out in it and face my fear, it was lovely. I only have one candle and for some reason it won't stay lit, probably came from Walley-World. Ok I do love the rain!!!!!!!!!

Love Vic

pedagogue · 09-19-2005, 09:22 PM

I LOOOOVE the smell of rain, except in FL. In FL it means, "get ready to evacuate....you are about to get whooped up on by a hurricane"

-p

Chance · 09-19-2005, 09:33 PM

LOL that was funny, here it is just humidity and it is hot enough here sometimes

ru4outoo · 09-19-2005, 10:13 PM

I love a good storm, I live in tornado alley but havent had any good tornadoes lately, we had a good storm last week, was online and looking out window and kabamn lightning hit a tree very close, I jumped about a mile high. I really love spring time when there is a good chance for tornadoes, I am one of those that is out looking for them even when he sirens go off.

nogard · 09-20-2005, 05:01 AM

The change of seasons may be the only time we have similiar weather, we have been getting rain and Storms "down Under" as spring settles in and the cold Southerly winds meet with the northerlys which are getting warm now.

I love storms just as well as we sometimes get huge electric storms that get caught in the mountain range and keep circling for hours.

Chance · 09-20-2005, 08:02 AM

Yeah and then the next day after the rain OMG HUMIDITY LMAO But we should be grateful for that too, right?

hopealwayz · 09-20-2005, 08:27 AM

I wish I could smell and hear the rain right now.
