Does thunder not happen here often? I’ve only been here 6 months and that’s the first thunder I’ve heard.

The past 5-6 months are not the most active months for severe storms. It's coming!

Ahhh I love it. I miss thunderstorms.

I've got no problem with storms, they're quite refreshing.

"Severe" storms, I don't mess with those.

In summer yes, plenty of thunderstorms. In winter not so much.

I haven’t been here much longer than you but we had some great summer thunderstorms in my opinion. Not sure how the frequency varied from any other year though.

My poor husband when he moved here sometime early '00s experienced the hectic storms we had that year in like '04 where the summer was non stop gully washers and you had like 30 lightning strikes in the span of less than a half an hour.
It has been over two decades, he loves storms, he would rather not have to deal with that.
I just do not want to deal with another Derecho that was scary for me.
