Have you ever wondered why a non-threatening storm can be calming?

As you drive down the street during a summer thunderstorm, you may see people in chairs sitting under an awning, engaging in conversation. Maybe your neighbor is reading a good book on their front porch as rain trickles down the roof tops.

Storms tap into our senses and are proven to provide enjoyment and relaxation to decrease stress. The sound of rain on a tin roof top or listening to thunder and lightning storms are one of many choices provide on sound machine devices to play during sleep hours. Just ask Alexa!  

Mother nature’s elements have a way of letting us know that the weather is a natural part of our daily stressful lives. Many people enjoy taking photographs of, “the calm” before the storm as cloud formations submerge. To some, it’s the rainbow after the storm creating hope and resilience. Without specialists who enjoy watching and researching storms, we would not be educated on their potential to decrease stress and to have a good conversation on the front porch.
