Honestly, it just gets so frustrating watching the radar, then the sky, looking at a nice decent thunderstorm forming, only for the cell to then take than random left-turn, and miss you (and by a hair too!). Or, the storm cluster just magically breaks apart when it approaches the area.
The hit or miss nature of convective storms causes me to wonder: how do regions where that is the main form of precipitation remain so lush? Would it be possible for areas of local drought to coexist with local deluge, due to the nature of such storms?

What area do you live? Is geography a factor in thunderstorm avoidness in certain areas?

It isn't as drastic as geography; I just don't like the hit-miss nature of convective summer thunderstorms. The neighborhood behind me can get soaked, while I am left high-and-dry (vice-versa, of course).
