I absolutely are afraid of thunderstorms and heavy winds basically because it seems like every single time we get a bad storm we lose power I do have a generator but it takes forever to kick in,Last night when I woke up at2m nothing not 15 minutes later I could hear that nosy thunder.It started the minute I tried go back to sleep the good news I fell right back to sleep thank God because it was suppose to be a scary one,u can do what I do, just lay down take a blanket and cover your face with it, sounds odd but I cannot stand that lightening either.They scare the living daylights out of me
