After she said “ well I didn’t like the color of siding or roof, or those 6 giant oaks in the back yard.” Time to pick new colors and Mom can you put sheets in 4 bedrooms, we coming for a visit.
Weather just has to be taken in stride, worry shouldn’t consume your mind, that may never happen.

Lol, kind of feel the same way. Maybe it's "age" ? Or better said experience (as you pointed out). Not trying to be flippant, but one person active on this site quotes Tom Petty on most things worried about never happen anyway. Not being flippant, but I think if you tend to worry a great deal, why not invest in something to allay that worry ! We had many years of "luck", then about 8 years ago, big strike in backyard. Lost overhead garage door opener and one TV. Probably foolish to some, but didn't move us to install any kind of major system. Just researched the effectiveness of a few different surge "protectors" and installed several between TV, freezer, overhead outlet for garage opener, etc. Can't say they are fool proof, but we have since had a number of close strikes...including one in the street in front of the house ! So far, we've had no damage. But I'm sure others would not feel any sense of relief from just these simple "protectors" between expensive appliances and wall outlets. My view is do what relieves YOUR stress, not what others tell you to do.
