Buy a book about them. if you understand things, even take an interest in them, they will no longer frighten you.

I had a close encounter many years ago, when I was a boy scout and having field camp in school. It happen to be a thunderstorm and I was walking in an open field with an unbrella when I felt my hairs standing on end. Next thing I knew, lightning struck a metal fence some 15 feet away. I was shocked by this, but felt nothing and continued my way to the nearest shelter!\nSo the next time I feel a build up of static electricity around me, I am going to run into the nearest building I can find. Especially on a rainy day.

I'm in Oklahoma, too, so I feel your pain!  Always unplug your computer system from the wall during storms, do NOT rely on a surge protector.  Also, unplug the phone line from your DSL modem.  Electricity can flow through the phone lines and kill your modem, lost mine a month ago because I forgot to unplug it.  Be sure to remove the DSL line from the back of your computer as well.  Better safe than sorry, and better paranoid than regretful!

Eat your favourite cornflakes... get out and play after a heavy rain... do activities that you enjoy.... hug  your pillows for a substantial amount of time...... lose yourself in the fictional world of books....hang out in a spot and watch the world and people go by! LAUGH OUT : ( )

Sometimes life is like a roller coaster... not just the ups and downs, but the feeling you have just before going straight down.  It is so difficult to comprehend that\nwhat you are going through is temporary.  A smooth sea doesn't make a good sailor... all the rough times will \nbenefit you in the long run if you stick it out.  It's\nnot the problems in life, but how we deal with them.  \nTry getting involved with something you can do to escape\n(art, music, reading, volunteering, etc.)  Focus on the \ngood things about yourself and your life.  Try to be \npositive even when you don't feel positive.  Remember,\nnot too many people will be concerned about your problems\nwhen they have problems of their own.  Relax.  Smile.\nThe sun is still shining and in spite of Chicken Little's\nrumor, the sky is not falling.

HahAHaha.  Listen Shawny, these people seriously do NOT know what they are talking about.  But I do, you're talking about lightening without thunder!  Not lightening with thunder but it's so far away you can't hear it.  There is such a thing as lightening with thunder because it's been happening all over here in my area of Texas.\n\nAnd I don't live out in the country, I'm in good ol' Austin.  There's something mysterious surrounding this lightening, not just because there's no thunder, but because you know the lightening is the driving force of the storm and not the other way around.  If that's true, then this lightening must be coming from SPACE.  That's right I said it.  Lightening caused not by the clouds colliding with cold air but by something going on with the Sun.  Anyways, I KNOW this was coming from space because of this one special bolt of lightening that just rocked the house and I'll never forget it.  \n\nIt came down out of the clouds like an anvil, and when it hit the air it's like the air acted like and insulatoragains the electricity and stopped the bolt from coming down anymore.  Well it was THICK at the trunk and it spread out in every direction along the bottom of the clouds, like a ring of electricity or the roots of a tree, causing lightening far out across horizon as far as I could see.  That was just too much energy for me to believe that it was caused by clouds rubbing together, am I right?  Can I get an AMEN?\n\nAnyways, so you know where this lightening is coming from, but what does this have to do with heat lightening?  Well you remember that Earth has a natural electric field right?  Everything that exists from the ground up has a natural electric charge on it.  When the lightening comes in it's basically pulling electrons off of the Earth and pulling energy in.  When these travel through the plasma the air surrounding the bolt is of a way smaller charge and is repelled; this causes the thunder.\n\nSomething is going on in these storms and in Earth's energy fields that allows this energy to be moved easily and with little resistance.  I believe we'll be seeing more of this lightening in the years ahead, you can count on it.  BWahahHAhAhaaa!!!

Woah!  Stay inside, try to have your car in an elevated area or a garage, and put sandbags near your doors if water leaks under them.  We're supposed to get crazy thunderstorms and hail this afternoon, with tons of rain, too.  Good luck!

the best thing to do is to ride the storm out, keep lots of toilet roll around though! drink lots of fluid, it will pass in a day or so. if it persisits, consult a doctor

Interesting.  I remember sitting outside late at night with a girlfriend.  It was going to storm, and there were already flashes of lightning in the clouds.  We were on the frontal boundary, so the winds were rocking us back and forth while the flashes in the sky lit up our surroundings.  I knew that the raw forces of nature were so much more powerful than I was, yet I somehow felt strangely magnified within them.  For a moment I was in tune with nature.  I loved that time and place with everything I had.  Then, it was gone with the rain.  \nSo, yes, I have felt that feeling.  I relive it sometimes in my memory of a night long gone.

you many not feel thunder and lighting, but you will start to change , you will have a peace in you that wasnt there before, and the more you seek Him, and read the bible, and talk to Him, the more and more you will feel His presence. it is an awesome feeling that comes and goes, because of our lives we sometimes get farther away from Him.  and we dont feel His presence as much, although He IS always there.  but thru prayer you will definately know........

YES YES YES!!!\n\nI can relate to this one too! I hate storms and mostly because of the wind. My fear started after I had kids though so I associated it with being responsible for someone else besides myself.\n\nWhat I have done to alleviate some of the anxiety of this is to learn more about it. I look up everything I can. Read about all the facts and statistics. I make myself as aware as possible and have even mostly overcome this fear by doing these things.

Actually 50% of all lightning fatalities occur inside the house when people talk on the telephone, take a shower or are in contact with any other conductors while lightning strikes their home.  I personally would not count on the surge protector to save my life, I would just shut down the computer, stay away from all electrical and just read a book until the storm has passed.  Remember, lightning is the number 2 weather killer in the US each year (73 deaths) just surpassed by flash floods.
