we've had a strange sort of December in my area too, loads of thunder and lightening and rain too, which is unusual. It could be worse though, like up where my brother lives in far north Queensland (tropics) where they're being battered by a cyclone.
Primal can be good, humans are always trying to tame things, their surrounds, nature and all...sometimes it's good to defer to primordial feelings and being out in a storm, the attitude brought about by an impending storm can be quite enjoyable.
