dangerous. Now that we have established that fact, here's a great
memoir to read during a thunderstorm.
Chapter V of Helen Keller's autobiography The Story of My Life
has a tremendous description of a thunderstorm--from a girl who could
not see or hear. The whole book is well worth reading. The full text is

Helen Keller Biography
The 1962
movie "The Miracle Worker" is directly based on Helen Keller's memoirs.
It is available on Netflix and YouTube. As a teacher of the Severely
Handicapped myself, I will say this is powerful production is a valid portrayal.
