It Seems to Heywood Broun

In this article the author shares his views on thunderstorms. Thunder doesn't bother him so terribly. He is not speaking of extra loud thunder or thunder that comes in the middle of the night and gets itself incorporated into a dream before you wake up. Heat lightning is all right as long as it keeps its distance. The great terror for the author is in the wind. There's no putting a reasonable limit on that. He is always under the apprehension that it will suddenly decide to blow twice as hard, or even ten times. In the noise of it there is invariably the threat of much worse to come. Lightning is violent but seldom venomous.
