Yup, can identify with that. It's true for me too.

Very interesting Michael! I know my nose "knows" before a storm, but I will be more alert after the next one.

Humidity and barometric pressure trigger my COPD episodes. I always know a storm is coming. I wonder if the team studying the Asthma/post-storm connection have looked into that as well for Asthma sufferers-if pressure and humidity aggravate their symptoms as well.
