    Thunderstorms.

    One thing I like about the US and growing up in the midwest is summertime thunderstorms - typically had on late afternoons and evenings when the humidity swallows you whole at around 90% and the temp hovers in the 80's.

    Mad torrential rains, thunder that makes your heart stop, and lightening that penetrates through every window in the house making it seem like daytime.

    The sky is yellow - maybe green - right now, clouds with dark gray and brown colors are flying fast, low in the sky. Thunder is rumbling like a bass line that Sasha could only dream of.

    Wind is bending the trees like some type of bendy toy, and you wonder how they stay standing.

    This is weather in the midwest.

    Living in London was nothing like this. It was mild as the sky wept. Rain that didn't know if it really wanted to come down, or just hang about 10 feet off the ground. Claustrophobically trapping you in the dense urban density that is the city. On the positive side the dark, mysterious influences of a city like London helps influence some of the best producers and DJs in the world. The UK is unique like that. Dark undertones everywhere.

    The midwestern US is much more schizophrenic. Sunny days, months of them at a time. But then every so often those western skies turn dark and forboding as another storm makes its way through to terrorize, and yet renew.

    I'm going out for a drive. Gotta love these thunderstorms.

    Got my MP3 player with the latest Digweed. Gotta bring the man along to keep the darkness riding.

    The sky has turned from yellow, green, to a shade of wickedly scary purple.

    Awesome.

    Anyone else like a good thunderstorm?
    may the groove be with you

      i like atlanta because you can drive to work on a brisk monday morning when it is nice and trafficky outside. oh how sweet the polluted air can be.... its like roses. especially in the summer when its 100 degrees and its 110% humid. oh man that is the best. i love driving in my car when the windows are down and bugs fly in your face and by the time you get to where you are going, you get out of your nice black leather interior of your car and the back of your shirt peels off the back seat.... you turn around to look at the big pile of sweat in your seat as you get out of the car and i just think "i love georgia..... i love atlanta." this town is super. i also liked it when our qb faked an injury for one whole entire season and our football team went 2-14... or maybe 3-13... who cares damnit!
      Should I fuck you at that not until the ass, inject then tremendously hard bumschen and to the termination in the eyes yes?

        Re:: Thunderstorms.

        Extreme weather conditions make you realise just how insignificant us tiny human beings are on this planet. I too love to watch whatever him upstairs like to throw at us, sad though it is some people have to suffer badly from it.

          Electrical storms are amazing, been lucky enough to catch some pretty good ones this year. One of the more spectacular was in London early summer (May i think), superb, sound and light were top notch.

                I love a good storm too. And there are a lot of storms in the area where I'm living now.

                Usually I go out with my camera and get some nice lightning pics

                  yes, a storm can be ALOT of fun... ask the promoters for ACA World Sound Festival in 2002!

                  They had been planning the biggest - fattest event outside of Europe ever (took them like a year)... (Acapulco Mexico) First day of their event a tropical storm hit the beach where they had built all the stages etc on and it was impossible to continue...

                  They had Sasha play inside this small ass venue (capacity 200 people)...

                  did anyone go to this?

                  sick line up....

                        sounds like someone didnt get any nookie on their internet date the other night.



                        i grew up in FL. thunderstorms are great til lightning strikes your neighbor dead.
                        or your dog.
                        its awesome when lightning hits your house too. all electrical items plugged in at the time usually die.

                        never seen one in the midwest cornfields.

                          storms rock...got a nice little view over some farmland next to our street, so the sky is nice and open there to see some good lightning shots.

                          I'm also on a mountain, so the thunder sounds like it rolls forever

                            Awesome, well done. I dig any kind of weather, thunder no exception. Earlier this summer we got some wicked stroms around here... I got caught in hail 3 or 4 times! Good stuff, as long as you're not out playing golf, then it can be a little scarry.
