Another thing that usually gets me irritated about it is the frequency of lightning storms involved.
Call me a boring person, but I think it's ludicrous when everyone drops what they're doing and stares in awe at a lightning storm that's occurring in an open area, thirty miles away.
Along with that, it's just rain.
People seem to get all ecstatic and rejoiceful about it, as I get all negative and withdrawn when it happens.
You see one storm, you see them all.
Nothing to write home about.
I love it as well. I am happy to endure a bit more humidity and allergies for all of the green I've seen in ABQ. The city has been quite pretty this year because of it. Old Town was abloom with flowers everywhere. Glad to have it... achoo!
We must be thankful. California is on fire. The fire "jumps" highways. I saw pictures on the news (which I try to avoid) and it looked like a scene from Hell. Thank God for the rain.

As I said, if people just kept their joy about it to themselves, I wouldn't look like a rambling, angry person to them all the time.
As far as the "fire jumping the freeway", that actually happened about ten miles south of where my stepdad lives.
They got it under control in due time, but this drought could've been avoided a long time ago if certain steps were followed.
Me too, unless I happen to be out from under safe cover! There was an incident near the town of Carrizozo last May when a couple from Albuquerque, on their way to the motorcycle rally in Ruidoso, were struck by lightning while riding double on theirs. The woman lived for a few days before dying in a hospital in Lubbock. The man was "shocked" but not seriously injured and lived to tell about it, as follows:

That's another thing.
I'm typically having to climb up on top of metallic trailers to open and close the dome lids when loading milk into them.
Anytime these ---tty spectacles of nature start zapping around, I often wonder if there's hazard pay involved.
That would be a pretty bad, and embarrassing way to go out.
Struck by lightning and not found until the dairyman wondered why his silos are spilling milk.
I moved here to escape the humidity back home, so yeah, I'm getting tired of the nightly rainfall. That, and the delays caused by lightning make it harder to get all my work done in one shift.
But when I'm not trying to get work done, I love to sit and watch lightning (sorry OP).
