Is it normal that thunderstorms are soothing?

I don't know why but every time I hear thunder and lightning it calms me. I don't know what it is but I just like listening to the low rumbles and see the lightning flash. Is that normal?

    Cool! I love me a good thunderstorm. It helps me sleep better at night, the pitter patter of the rain and the flashes of lightning... yup, a great night's sleep.

      I wake up unusually happy in the morning and wide awake if I go to sleep to a thunderstorm. Something is calming and stress relieving about it. I wish I had more thunderstorms here. It's the best to wake up to one in the morning around breakfast. It makes my school day better if there is a storm during my classes

    Oh, I feel the same way. I live in the San Francisco area and it hardly ever does that here. I'm in total awe. I love it so much when it does happen.

    Yeah! It's totally normal! I have always loved listening to storms that pass through at night. There's one going on right now and I feel quite calm.

    distant thunder is the best in my opinion:p

  • Ewwww I fucking hate thunderstorms they annoy me so much, and I have a diagnosed phobia of thunder storms so I get scared everytime. Try to come down and live in Florida, there's a huge thunderstorm every other day in the summer and in the winter there's one about once a week. I live in the thunderstorm capital of the world, Orlando
