    I've never been scared of thunder but...............

    ........ then again - I've never been in this sort of storm before!!!

    There is a 'kin great electrical storm coming my way.....

      Where are you? Thunderstorms in blighty are rarely fatal, whereas if you were in a particularly hot climb, say UAE for example then you're pretty screwed.

          I love those tropical storms. Been caught in a few. Once got hit by a flash storm while travelling on a glass sky tram over to Sentosa in Singapore. Lightening bounces off the cable cars and dancing all around.

          We were the last on, looked back to see that everyone else had been stopped. You could feel the heat of the electricity it was so close.

            If you're worried (ahhhh), find a car and sit in it until it passes - it is one of the safest places to be.

                    May I suggest you pull the sheets up, suck your thumb and cuddle your teddy.
