Oh how I miss the North Carolina thunderstorms. The last time I experienced one of those was in June of 1959. There's nothing like the crack of lightning and ground shaking thunder, not to mention large marble sized hail pounding the crap out of everything. The down pour was almost like swimming as I remember it. People here in California have never seen a storm like that. As to current weather here, hot and only going to get hotter for the next 10 plus days.

Reading about your cloudy and wet weather. All we could afford growing up was a fat woman standing over us sweating and spitting on us.

Until I was 19 I was in Connecticut and Upstate New York both of which are home to the infamous weather pattern called the Nor'Easter which was made famous in the movie "The Perfect Storm" Most folks of my age still talk about the blizzard of 1978, when Ella Grasso the governor of Connecticut took the unprecedented step of closing the entire state. Buffalo NY had the national guard deployed to help dig out of snow that commonly drifted to 8 - 10 feet in places on top of 5 - 6 feet of fallen snow. Lake effect snow all through that area was scary!Reading about your cloudy and wet weather. All we could afford growing up was a fat woman standing over us sweating and spitting on us.
But I would agree North Carolina Thunderstorms are an unique experience, they tend to be fast moving, well defined and intense! And once in awhile the spit out Tornado or two. Nothing like the monsters in the midwest but they are pretty scary for us! Also lived through 4 direct hits of hurricanes, 2 in Florida, I vividly recall my roommate and I desperately holding a queen sized mattress up against the porch sliding glass doors which were bowing inwards. The two windows to the left blew out like gunshots and finally we were overpowered and the mattress ended up on top of us. Then I moved far inland to Raleigh (at that time actually Cary) NC, safe from hurricanes right? Nope! Fran blew through and took my garden shed and most of the 100 year old trees in the neighborhood with it! Along with a fair number of our windows and part of our roof. Our neighbors house was surgically bisected by a monster tree.
But the worse casualties were more or less self inflicted, in the days following you would hear a chain saw somewhere nearby, at some point the chain saw would go quiet then you would hear ambulance sirens. People had a hard time understanding physics after the storm and happily dropped trees on themselves trying to cut them up.
