As a kid was deathly afraid of thunderstorms. Now I absolutely enjoy them. I love to see the huge storms coming in and watching the lightning. Would actually like to storm chase sometime
Storm Chasing would be a thrill and an adrenaline rush too. Besides that you'll get to visit places and see stuff that some people wouldn't get to see and experience.
And maybe from above :ahhhhhhhh

I used to chase tornados when I was a teenager and into my early twenties while growing up in Nebraska.

Never saw one until I moved out here.

They actually had one last Thursday.

Speaking of seeing things at different angles, I once went to Tucson and drove up to the top of Mt. Lemon...stopped my Jeep to let it cool off at a scenic overlook, got out and saw lightening come from a cloud that was below me...

Strange looking.

Some buddies and I went fishing/drinking/camping up on MT Lemmon once and awoke to a nasty sleet storm. It was fun as heck getting back down since several of us had rode motorcycles up. We made the twisty ~20 miles back down and played golf that afternoon in 80 degree weather. Gotta love Tucson.

Lightning bolts appear above and around the Chaiten volcano as seen from Chana, some 30 kms (19 miles) north of the volcano, as it began its first eruption in thousands of years, in southern Chile May 2, 2008. Cases of electrical storms breaking out directly above erupting volcanoes are well documented, although scientists differ on what causes them. Picture taken May 2, 2008. (Carlos Gutierrez)
