excitement, definitely, Particularly a good T storm. When tornado sirens go off I go to the window to look outside to see it. Had one summer in Denver where every other day was tornado warning. Actually saw a funnel cloud, standing in the middle of a park looking it it, realizing, Hmm, I should probably find some place to go in case this turns into a tornado. Another time I saw lots of circling of clouds that was pretty cool, I pointed it out to people than the sirens went off a little after that.
Love a good snow storm. Experienced a Hurricane once, Gloria on Long Island in 85 or 86 when I was a kid, was a catergory 1 but we lost power for a week
