Just to show you that it's not always sunny in Miami....normal view out my window.
Today's view out the window. Hello rain, wind and no visibility.
See...it's not all sunshine and rainbows and kisses and unicorns. (Because all of those things make people happy, right? Right?)
In all reality though, I love a good thunderstorm. Nevermind the fact that I used to avoid them at all costs, hide under the covers and feel my stomach drop and the first hint of thunder in the distance. To cure one's fear of a storm....
1) Demonstrate to your family that you are scared out of your wits of wind, rain, thunder, lightning and any combination of the above
2) Take many trips with said family to a desert lake where storms roll in every afternoon
3) Get used to the constant ridicule but stay safely inside when a storm rolls around
4) "Oh don't worry, Lucy...those black clouds across the lake...they'll go righttt by us" I think not.
5) During said storm (although preferably not at the height of it) go with your mom and sit on top of the houseboat.
6) Don't sit by the metal pole that will attract lightning.
7) Sit, observe, watch, feel the wind on your cheeks, see the clouds roll by and change colors - black to grey to white
8) After all the chaos, realize that you are still okay and the sun always comes out again
Once you have cured your fear of storms....don't go driving too fast during a massive rainstorm, hydroplane and crash....that'll bring on a whole new fear water on the street.
