I love storms. Basically, I love rain and all forms of it. Very relaxing, and a symbol of lazy days at home. Generally it's cold when it rains, and that's a bonus, given I love cold weather. I used to be afraid of lightning as a kid; my father had a "sounds of nature" CD and it had the sound of lightning on it, and apparently I always used to nag whenever he played it. Nowadays, I love lightning and thunder. (Especially the loud "boom" sounds. Recently, there was one so loud that it made me jump...
everybody was talking about it; if you didn't you were ostracized =O)
Storms don't actually affect my ability to go to sleep; if anything, they enhance it. Like I stated before, rain is very relaxing to me, and thunder & lightning aren't troublesome at all. I don't have anything to say about the potentially hazardous and chaotic winds that occur...sure, I'd rather the winds weren't there, but they aren't too annoying.
Recently, in and around Sydney, there have been some pretty destructive storms. I feel sorry for all of the people's houses (and lives) that have been virtually destroyed, but there is a(nother) beneficial factor of storms: rainwater! Sydney's damns have had a much needed boost recently.

(from 38% to 50%+?)
