I love thunderstorms. I'm in a heavily wooded area up on a huge hill, so I get all the lightning. One of the coolest things I've ever seen is a tree being hit by lightning, and every leaf falling off as the bark pretty much exploded off. It left a bare, barkless tree with a charred mark down the side where the lightning arced down the side.
What isn't as cool is trees falling on my house and car, but that only happened a couple of times, and there was no real damage.
