I prefer torrential downpours with thunder and lightening. It's more entertaining. I'll take snow, lots of snow, over rain any day though.

Yes! Well...I was in my home, but the wind was scary as heck. I also remember a powerful derecho crossing the area one summer afternoon. The sky turned green and black and then the wind hit. We had huge trees down everywhere. I thought it was a tornado, but the news explained what it was. It crossed many states before even hitting us on the east coast. Nature is amazing.
Yeah I was in a major one years ago on the river. Our road lucked out being at the bottom of a cliff that kinds buffered the trees from the winds. The rest of the area looked like a bomb hit though.
The one I remember was many, many years ago too. I think it originated in Canada, hit the upper mid west, and then us in the northeast. It was something I never forgot. The lightning was constant, but you couldn't hear the thunder with the ferocious wind. I never seen rain hit a window at a 90* angle before.
