Recently the heat wave in the DC metro area birthed perfect conditions for thunderstorms and of course those wretched tornadoes. Maybe nature misunderstood.
I enjoy sleeping to RAIN, not THUNDER and LIGHTENING!
Power was knocked out a couple times, and I was VERY SCARED. I even contemplated sleeping under the stairs leading to the basement. Spine shaking thunder and crackling lightening really scare me; no really, they scare me.
My sister mentioned that she may have PTSD from experiencing hurricanes as kids. I think it's very possible that I have it, too. My fear of thunder/ lightening is really on another scale. And the thought of a tornado gives me IBS. In fact, the IBS/heartburn/ esophagus pain is back and it started around last Thursday when we were under tornado watch quite a bit.
I still remember the sound of an earthquake as a child. (Yes, there is a sound. It's kinda like a train whistle. Very eerie.) Anyway, I am very unnerved by natural disasters that are impossible to anticipate.
Hmmmmm, makes me see the need for therapy after natural disasters.
Can you imagine the fear in the hearts of people that lived through the tsunami, Katrina, and the billion tornadoes this season?

We hardly ever get thunder or lightning... or anything of the sort that you described. So when it thunders like even a little bit, i freak out and pull out all the candles and sit under a blanket and watch out the window.

Having been through a few of these, I can confirm that...
