I love the storms myself, as long as no one gets hurt.

As I am sure you know, inland thunderstorms are almost always stronger than thunderstorms near the coast. I love the ocean as well, especially its related tropical weather, but the relatively cool ocean knocks the heck out of most thunderstorms.

It is looking like a more active tropical Atlantic starting in ten days or so. What is out there now does not seem to have the upper level support to get real big. A lot of relatively dry air just north of the ITCZ is not helping either. However, SSTs are warm in the area of the ITCZ and that will moisten up the air column during the next week. So, the tropical season should get going, on schedule.

Enjoy the weather!
