I like storms too but not the intense ones. Those usually bring high water and power outages that last for far too long. I prefer the all day showers that bring an inch or two of rain each day for a couple of days.

Sitting in a hot apartment waiting for the electricity to come back on sucks and so does sitting in traffic at intersections where the power has gone out and has caused miles of back up. Also hate sitting on the freeway because the feeder roads are flooded causing everyone to avoid getting off the freeway and causing a traffic nightmare (45 north). Add in hail damage and you can see why most people would prefer to keep the intense out of our storms.

I welcome it. I'm looking forward to Houston's first blizzard and subzero temps. No ice, though.

These types of events are good for us, in my opinion. Every now and then, we need to be reminded that nature has the upper hand. People who live in "perfect weather" cities don't understand that as well as we do.

I haven't observed that most Houstonians dislike our strong storms.

my balls predict at least 2.5 more months of little rainfall and heat with 2 minor winter storms much like our 2010/2011 winter. ive always been told my balls are special
