Topic: Wow, who here is familiar with thunderstorm asthma?

Found this story on CNN.  Asthma so severe during a thunderstorm that it caused thousands of emergency calls and 3 deaths.

Very interesting story. I have never heard of this before, considering I've had Bronchial Asthma since the age of 3 1/2 (I'm now 48). To my knowledge, I've not ever had an issue like this.

Thanks for sharing,
