I hear you, Redtail. But, I think you would rather be scared and alive than dead. I think that the media gives us time and the opportunity to protect ourselves if that is what we choose to do. There is almost nothing so scary as the thunder storms we get here. I certainly understand that living alone must only add to the anxiety level. Do what I do: Turn that anxiety and fear into something positive by preparing, so you can make it through a tornado, should one touch down. I was as busy as a beaver for a half hour, dragging stuff out to the van in the garage! I almost didn't have time to be scared! I wish you well during future storms. I think we are ALL scared, truth be known.
