Rain Vs. Thunderstorms

It may be odd, but I hate rain and love thunderstorms. Of course, raining is an obvious during a thunderstorm. But I find thunderstorms so much more intriguing and interesting to observe. I think the reason I don't enjoy rain is the fact that if its just rain, it is most likely just a boring dreary day in general. With a thunderstorm, hopefully there is some excitement of some thunder, lightning, and strong winds. I thoroughly enjoy just sitting outside watching a good thunderstorm make way. Especially the summer thunderstorms down south, after a pretty day they are so much more enjoyable to hear everything and to see everything aspire.
