It's quite an eerie feeling that gives you a feeling of forboding. Merry Christmas Bill. Tom

True tom, there's that momentary chilly, a light wind, then the rumbling thunder and flashing lightening, and it cuts loose. Bill

Storm skies are interesting to look at, a mix of creepy and beautiful. I've come to understand that rain smells good, just like you've said.

I like the calm before the storm, just not the storm. Bill

We have had a storm here in the UK recently and it was so dark, it looked like Armageddon... another excellent haiku my friend..

Thanks for the comment, Silent One. Be careful if you're going out, those storms can be dangerous, my friend. Bill
