I used to believe that lighting and thunder in the sky meant God was angry. I thought the rain falling was God crying. I also believed that the moon was God's eye watching us and the stars were all the people in heaven and a shooting star was someone going to heaven. My mom always told me that when it thundered, the angels were moving furniture around and that's why it is so loud.

When i was little, my mom told me that when it thundered and lightened that Mother Nature and God were bowling and whenever lightening stuck, somebody knocked down all the pins and when it thundered really loud that Mother Nature was losing and she was getting mad.

When I was a child my Dad's mother was so frightened by Thunder storms she would unplug all elect. appliances and turn off all the lights and the whole family would have to sit in the dark middle of the room.

My father so hated this that as a small child he would take me out to sit in the car with him to watch the storm. When there was thunder and lightening he would say the thunder was the clouds banging together and the lightening the sparks from the bump.

I still enjoy thunder storms and passed on to my daughter the reason for the thunder and lighting

I used to be really afraid of thunder, so when ever there was a thunder storm I'd climb into my 'thunder box' (the box our dishwasher came in) with some cookies and juice. I was convinced my box was lightning proof, but just in case I'd make sure none of my clothes or toes stuck out.

One night when I was young, I believed that if I went into my mom's room it would stop the thunder from the storm outside. I went into her room and got in her bed, but to my surprise the thunder didn't stop. I never tried that again.

I used to think that electricity came from the ground in the form of endless lightning bolts (yellow zigzag lines underground). There was absolutely no doubt in my mind about that, so I never asked anyone until I just learned about it.

When I was a girl, I used to believe that when It was raining with lightning and thounder, It was because God was very furious. In that moment, I was hiding myself under my bed and I was starting to cry.

I used to believe that albino people came from lightning storms (from the movie Powder), so if a pregnant women got hit by lightning she would give birth to an albino baby

My mom would always tell me that when it thunder and lightening God and the angels were bowling and that when the lightening hit God had made a strike. Later in life I told my children this and it helped them not to be afraid of a thunder and lightening storm.

I used to think because when the lights were off lightening was white, if I turned the lights on it would turn black.

To keep me from being afraid of thunder, when I was little my Mom would tell me that it was the sound of God moving furniture around in Heaven.

I used to have a tremendous fear of thunderstorms and I used to believe if I played with or touched anything black during a rainstorm, that it meant god would think I wanted thunder and lightning.
