As someone who really doesn't like lightning and thunder IRL, it was a lil scary. I'd rather it just rain lol.

i've only gotten a thunderstorm once and i got so scared, i thought something had happened to my display haha

but now that i know what they look like i want more! super neat addition

I hope to see it someday. I've had a lightning storm during the first week that lasted 15 minutes, and it happened at noon. So I didn't get to experience it at night.

I saw it the first time on a mystery tour. I spent a good 30 minutes trying to get a picture of it and completely failing.

I had a lightning storm earlier in my game today and it was really nice

Yes, I was so excited when I got on my town one day and it was really dark out and there was a thunderstorm going on! It's really interesting and fascinating! <3

I was wondering about lightning the other day. I had a really strong rainstorm and high winds...but didn't have any lightning.

I'm looking forward to it. Cool to have a confirmation that it's in.

 

[swifterly]

Wooow I've never seen it that's so cool

I don't know if I saw it correctly, but yesterday I had rain all day and I swear it looked a bit misty to me, but maybe I was imagining it. Oh and I had the lightning once and it was awesome.

Visibility definitely decreases before and during a storm! I've noticed hazy weather when it's overcast

 

[KeatAlex]

Omg I want to see one so bad!!
That's all I wanted out of the weather!

 

[Pyoopi]
