Can I get this like 8 hours long
HapilyDamaged
@OP thanks for sharing. I miss living where it storms... we get rain a couple of months but rarely ever a storm.
PervyAesSedai
When I was young, the sound of thunder used to make me violently ill, vomiting often and spending storms clutching the toilet. Soothing now
Ceistebi
I'm just a simple Midwestern man, looking for a nice storm to watch from my window.
QuantumVikings
I could sleep to this any day :) honestly gonna just let this loop for a bit.
hell0
This is delightful
thesaurusaurus1984
This is one of the most comforting sounds for me intermixed with a far away rumbling thunderclap. Great post +1!

I learned on imgur years ago that I too am a pluviophile.

Here is one i recorded with my good camera and microphone https://youtu.be/vRX7ayI9tTQ

Supposed to have rain tomorrow. I hope it’s like this
shouldbedoingsomethinguseful
I'm jealous. Here in the SF bay area we haven't had a good thunderstorm in ~10 years. And no meaningful rain since December.
SanchoLibre
As a ... v I strongly approve of this post.
onea
nice weather to cozy in
wizardofOZwald
I needed this tonight. +1
mangrovia
Was waiting for the house across the street to explode from lightning
ToreyCMoore
Liked and favorited, gonna coming back to this when I'm stressed out.
MeMyselfandyourCat
Rain and storms are pretty nice if they're not too extream and if you have a reasonable house.
UWAGAGABLAGABLAGABA
The storms are the only thing i miss about Alabama.
herdingcatsthatarehighoncatnip
I could fall asleep in seconds with this as background noise.
kellszbellsz
Man, I miss Texas T-storms.
GoodDogSquad
We had these storms where I used to live. Where we moved we hardly get big rain and thunder storms. I find them so soothing.
Reaper3087
I had one of these last night. I love thunder storms. They only get scary when they're super close. Ie sound instantly with the flash.
Not only are they WAY louder, but not expecting your house to have what seems like a mini earthquake along with it, is unsettling.
fwtaylor101
That was so nice, liked the lightening, watched it twice. Thanks
CyranoDeBurlapSack
Not very frightening
ImpossiblePopsicleObstacle
Thunderbolts and lightning!
NoYoureTheClone
Whoa, bold move. OP said to take a half a minute and you got greedy and took a whole one! Leave some peace for the rest of us.
Sorry bruh got greedy
Understandable in these trying times. Hope that you and your family get comfort from your pilfered half a minute.
KorbenDallasMultipass
Why is the sound of rain so soothing for humans? We evolved outside shouldn't we hate storms.
JayTheSaltLord
I read something a while back that people with depression find storms soothing due to ions of some kind? 1/2
I'm not particularly science-literate though, so I'm explaining it very poorly, sorry.
THEfreshestbrew
This is what I miss most about home. California sucks man.
winteriscummings
Agreed. Grew up in Nebraska and live in LA now. You ever notice the locals are terrified of the idea of thunderstorms?
Yup.... and even just rain. I would live a long warm night of thunderstorms again...
AlanziItawa
Same. Grew up in IL and moved to SF area 5 years ago. I want to move somewhere where it rains and storms so badly...
Orion7712
Calming if you don't have a doggo
EzekielsRage
Had a thunderstorm going, temperature about 88 and had the sound of rain falling on my window unit, god I miss my time in Austin
HillOfBeans
The best ones I’ve experienced have been in Colorado. One night in the mtns I watched one 50 miles away, it stayed there for hours.
buttonbutton
I live near Houston and we had one like this Tuesday! It was amazing. I opened the blinds and turned the lights off so the baby could watch.
I appreciate that my parents had us come out on the porch and enjoy storms. There’s a wonderful primal feeling, close to the earth somehow
I wish we had a porch for me to take her on! I love storms. My grandmother had a big bathtub by a huge window. I’d fill it up with blankets
and pillows and watch storms from my nest with a good book. I was/am a weird kid.
Sounds like heaven to me!
I have some other videos of this line blowing through showing the lighting in the distance looking amazing if y'all want to see those?
draxxthemsklounst
Yes!
WilliamKeith
Yes.
abso-fuckin-lutely! please post as many storm videos as you can.

This is a question that only needs to be answered 9000 times yes

Why are thunderstorms so calming?
TheNarwhalicornsDick
Speaking from a bio perspective, watching it probably helps calm you down because it focuses your attention to one or two things/senses
G91N
It's because a loooong time ago, a thunderstorm meant there would be no predators outside; we could sleep peacefully.
Interesting, I never thought about it like that.
TheRicM
The electromagnetic signature helps ground your aura into your buttcrack chakra
ClamScam
Ah, yes. The buttcrack chakra or Anal amplification zone is best known for absorbing lightning strikes when stranded in a field. tmyk
Close enough
VibratingNipples
Because we’re at the mercy of Mother Nature and there is nothing we can do about it. So we just like “fuck it, I’m going to enjoy this storm
Before I die”
GroumphLePreux
Of what is happening in the other shitstorm.
dudedude09
Because you have a warm and dry place to shelter. Opposite of calming without these things.
Well said!
zenton
As someone who spent too much time in the pouring rain looking for shelter. It’s so soothing in a dry bed or cot listening too it drop.
combatwombat0
I used to really enjoy rain. Now I can't stop thinking about how it is for homeless people/pets during rain :(
blubbfish
Pets don't mind rain too much though, do they?
temoce
Yeah, I didn't want to think about this. Thanks
Lol sorry
DaftRanger
Thunderstorms are very relaxing. Especially when you have a clear view for miles and can see it all.
ThePedro8161
As someone who works outside, I hate rain with a burning passion.
DevonGronka
The faint siren in the background is stressing me out though...
CaCow
And you don't have to drive in it.
fpsnoob
Also when you don't have to be outside.
shovethis
Why is that I wonder
Yakeshinu
Normally I'd totally agree with you, but the last one took out my power for 3 days. That was a bit of a pain.
likuidlightning
Unless you have a 15 pound neurotic cat who hates thunderstorms.
WARHAMMER405
That's what I liked about living in a one stoplight town in Central Oklahoma.
renaenae88
If I'm in CA, agreed. If I'm in TX or any other Midwest state, I'd be shitting my pants..
alittletime
When I go to Lake Powell, Utah, they have these raging storms that come out of nowhere then clear skies an hour later and it's phenomenal
Noevilgifs
Uuuuntil the sky turns green
BobnatiousD
There's a adfree 10 hour YouTube channel of thunderstorms I sleep to
middlehead
I used to love them, until my old place started having water leaks. Hopefully I can enjoy the next storm at this new place.
FvcktangularBondulance
Unless the lightning is striking within 100 feet of you two times and blowing the fuck out of not just fuses and wiring but also your ears.
And also everyone else is yelling and scared because Zeus is committing violent assault against the place and it's raining horizontally.
Other than that, yeah, I do find them soothing.
NotSureIfItWasAFart
I love watching the rain from my lanai (patio). With or without lightning. Definitely makes me happy to be alive and under a roof.
IAmNotACatISwear
I almost never see lightning in Hawaii. It's probably the only thing I miss about New Mexico.
imyellinkimberr
I lived in Hawaii for 4 years and would get super exited whenever I saw lightning! Mainland folks wouldn’t get it
GrabherbythePuss
Why can’t you damn Floridians just call it a screened in porch like the rest of us
PriestofThor
That's Hawaiian. Floridians call it a . . . Florida room.
My inlaws live in florida and call it a lanai, as do all their friends down there as well
Well then I stand corrected.
CIarkKent
I wonder why though? I mean I agree 100%, but why is something that is potentially dangerous so calming to watch?
iConfirmAnythingAndEverything
Psychologically from our past, storms like this(not super violent) mean rain and the end to the deadly dry spells. Rain dances were a thing,
After all. Cultures did crazy things to try to stoke rain. When it came brought relaxation that the crops will be ok.
CMaxwellEsq
And before that with Hunter/Gatherers, it probably meant predators we're taking shelter so we got a good night's sleep.
das cool
