I’m a Ceraunophile. That’s someone who finds deep comfort and excitement in thunder. Today in Metro Vancouver, I’ve already counted 8 claps of thunder! Each one feels like a reset for my nervous system.

There’s a cool bit of science behind this "sonic boom."

Thunder is actually the sound of air expanding. When lightning strikes, it heats the air to 30,000°C—that's 5 times hotter than the sun. This instant heat makes the air explode outward faster than the speed of sound.

Lightning and thunder are a perfect pair and happen at the exact same time. We only see the flash 1st because light travels much faster than sound. By the time the boom reaches my ears, the light has already cleared the path.

In my system work, I focus on self-respect and regulation. Sometimes we need a sonic boom in our own lives to clear the air. It helps us make space for a new frequency.

Are you a Ceraunophile too?

Ahh, looks like tomorrow is going to be a *lovely* day!

"Very high chance of showers. The chance of a thunderstorm. Possible small hail in the afternoon and evening. Damaging winds possible in the evening."

100% chance of 10 to 30 mm of rain. 💖

For all the dangers, hazards and disasters that the storm brings.

The life that the clouds show through bursts of light and astounding loudness. The way that it feels as though it's trying to reach the earth below it. The roaring energy of the heavens that is said to be the will of God. It's alluring to me.
