I’m glad you’re still here. Although I do want you to learn Hail Mary… My husband was haunted as a child and still scares me when he wakes in the middle of the night and wakes me up by asking me how to recite Our Father…
These days I don’t think a thunderstorm is just a thunderstorm to anyone. Massachusetts this past week knows.
I thought I was safe from tornadoes in California. Lately we’ve actually been having them, which is pretty freaking weird. Not to the scale the midwest gets them, of course. I’ve only been in one in my life, while visiting my grandparents in Indiana. I hope I never see sky that color again.
I could NEVER live in the midwest. I live in Virginia and we dont usually get too many here, but good lord any time the sky darkens and it storms I nearly shit myself in terror…Ive been NEAR two but never in one. Its weird you wrote about this…I just wrote about storms and tornadoes yesterday too. Guess its just that time of year
Ugh. I used to be so ambivalent towards storms. Even tornadoes, the warnings were so frequent around here, but nothing would ever come of them…until April 27th rolled around this year. And for the length of the second wave, I sat huddled in the bathtub with my 12-month-old for over three hours while the weather radio went off every few minutes with a new warning. We would have a new possible tornado coming for us, and the previous two or three hadn’t even passed yet. As of today’s latest damage survey, FIVE tornadoes touched down (including an EF-5) within a two-mile radius of my house. That whole day I was in some blessed cocoon, for my house wasn’t damaged. Now any time the sky gets dark, I get nervous. Anytime the radio or sirens go off, I immediately go into full-blown panic attack mode. I don’t joke around with that stuff anymore. :( So yeah…thunderstorms aren’t just thunderstorms anymore.
