Not really. I've lived in Spokane for the past ten years and we almost never get thunderstorms here. I can remember one big one a couple of years ago where I thought we were going to get a tornado (something else that never happens here), but no such luck. That was the only storm excitement in forever. In general it's a fairly hot/dry place in the summer, and I don't think we get that magic combo of heat and humidity needed to cook up a good storm.
- kposehn 13y agoWow, really? I lived there for 3 years and we got a ton of storms. I'm quite surprised - eastern washington used to get them relatively often during the summer. Well, eastern Oregon on the eastern slope of the cascades gets quite a few as well, and I got there often enough to experience them :)
- brightsize 13y agoReally. It hardly rains at all in the summer here. Just sun and heat, sun and heat. Everyone has to water their lawns or they all die. I grew up in New England where we had proper storms in the summer, and I WISH we had them here, if only to get a little wx excitement once in a while.

- kposehn 13y agoHuh. Color me confused. I lived there 1998-2001 while attending Gonzaga. We had a ton of storms in the spring and summer those years. Must have been a string of odd years. I live in San Diego now - I haven't seen a good blitz of a storm in sooooo long ~_~
