A tropical storm is a thunderstorm on steroids. They kill people and damage property.
I live in an area that was in the crosshairs of FIVE hurricanes in 2004. They caused extensive damage in this area. People lost their homes. My house was damaged enough I ended up having to replace it. Sorry, not my idea of fun.
I will admit many, many years ago I enjoyed thunderstorms too, not tropical storms, plain old thunderstorms. Then I had several near misses with lightening, including watching it hit our power pole outside the house. There were flames shooting out of the box on the pole. It blew out the wiring in the house. Then there was the time lightening hit a pine tree near me. Blew the tree to bits. I stopped thinking thunderstorms were fun.
