I love to watch them on tv. I love a thunderstorm near my house. Never been in a tornado or hurricane but they look really scary on tv. I think I would be very scared if I had to go thru a tornado of hurricane. We had a tropical storm one time with winds up to 70 mph. It was awful and lasted all night. I was so worried about the trees crashing on my house. They didn't but the ones in the far back fell. The house shook.

I think I have seen three to four at one time. I just depends on the conditions after a storm.

Actually, cyclones ARE another name for hurricanes - I post this directly, not changing the context one bit.\n\nIn meteorology, a cyclone is the rotation of a volume of air about an area of low atmospheric pressure. Cyclones are responsible for a wide variety of different meteorological phenomena such as tropical cyclones and tornadoes. Because of this, most weather forecasters avoid using the term cyclone without a qualifying term.\n\nTropical cyclones (also known as tropical storms, hurricanes and typhoons) are cyclones which form over warm (generally tropical) ocean waters and draw their energy from evaporation and condensation. They are characterized by a strong area of low pressure at the surface and an area of higher pressure aloft. Tropical cyclones are associated with strong thunderstorms, high winds, and flooding.\n\nIn North America, tornadoes are sometimes described as cyclones because they involve powerful winds around a low-pressure vortex. However, they differ from other cyclones by their very local nature; most cyclones are massive storms, while tornados are comparatively small but extremely powerful. Tornadoes occur on too local a scale for the Coriolis effect to determine the direction of rotation; for this reason tornado winds sometimes flow anticyclonically, or opposite the direction dictated by the Coriolis effect.

No, mother nature is mother nature. Storms have always been a part of the climate. Earthquakes because the Teutonic plates shift. Tornado's by severe storms. Why would you assume that God would be out to get us? He created everything( if that is your belief) so it follows that He created the weather too.

I love the smell and taste of the air when the thunder storm and raining real hard.\nI love the sound of the rain hitting the house and the ground\nI love to sit under the porch roof and some times close my eyes and just take in all the feelings my senses are sending me, like i said the smell, the tastes the feelings on my body the sounds you can hear and feel when the thunder comes close enough to make the ground move...and of course your heart, your heart beings to beat much harder and faster when the storm comes closer..and if you can sit with your eyes closed, you have a much greater sensation and your senses go off the chart.....you can feel your heart and then you can hear your heart in between the booms of the thunder,\nI just love it...\nand at night it is even much more of a visual sensation...\nand if your lucky enough to be sitting and hugging someone, this is even better for the two of you.....\n\ngood luck\nsmile\nhave fun\nand\nGod Bless

i must imagine you are talking about vortices, like tornadoes, and hurricane eye walls, however it is a big misconception that the eye of the hurricane is a column, its eyewall is slanted, so it is bigger at the top than at the bottom, it gives you the illusion of being in a football stadium, that is way too huge.  And tornadoes are slightly like that, but mostly they are column like.  So in response to that Columns do rule, If you want to learn more about them you should become a meteorologist and do research on tornadoes and hurricanes, I am working on research on hurricane Katrina.

cyclones are the same as tornadoes and occur on land.\n\ntyphoons are the same as hurricanes and occur along the coastline.  In the western hemisphere we call the hurricanes (like in the Americas). In the eastern hemisphere they are called typhoons (like in India).

We have rain and thunder/lightning, earthquakes, volcanoes erupting, epidemics, famines, droughts and all sort of world disasters. =)

Oh, I love it!  I'm a Texan too and I know what you mean about the good ol' fashioned thunderstorm.  \n\nI'm a SKYWARN storm spotter and I do sometimes look forward to a good ringtailed roarer to blow through and stir up some excitement.  I don't even mind a little small hail beating a staccato rhythm on my roof as long as my car's put up.  Too often, though, it dumps way too much rain all at once or pops out a tornado or kicks out big ol' boulders.  Yeah, I gotta report it. I'm glad to be able to volunteer for this but so often the S hits the fan in the wee hours.  It kinda bums sometimes when my radio tones out and I have to get out of bed, hit the radar and the radios (3 at once-- NOAA Weatheradio, the local 2-meter ham frequency and a UHF rig) AND broadcast.  Forget it-- I might as well have me a big ol' glass of tea or a pot of coffee!  \n\nBut heck yeah. I love thunderstorms!!   Seen a few tornadoes, too.  Now THOSE are scary but spellbinding...

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.

Tornadoes are created from severe Thunderstorms. They occur when a high pressure front meets head on with a low pressure front. No where is this more evident than in our mid-west, otherwise known as tornado alley, from the Canadian provinces to the Gulf of Mexico. Here, the Siberian express from Canada meets the warm tropical front from the Gulf of Mexico.

Usually, heavy rain stroms are always accompanied by thunderstorms.  The worst storms occur when warm, moist air meets with cool, dry air.  The greater the difference, the greater the thunderstorm and rainfall.

Yes there are many people who love such a thing and usually they form groups to share in their common interest, one such group can be found right here in yahoo groups, you can easliy sign up with this group, see the link.\n\nThese Groups are usually called "Storm Chasers"\n\nI hope that helps\n\nAnhar Hussain Miah

I live in Missouri...seen 10 + tornadoes in my lifetime in this area.  Tried chasing storms for a while a few years ago...went into Kansas and Oklahoma and seen most of them when I did that.  As a kid, I think I was 8, there was one that traveled about 1/4 mile from my house and we watched it.  Wild stuff....I love storms, the more destructive, the better.  My apologies to those of you who disagree with that statement, but it's just my opinion.  Don't like it?  Sorry 'bout your luck.
