FEAR!
Growing up most kids are afraid of the monster in their closet, the boogyman under the bed, the dark, being home alone, etc. I, on the other hand, feared storms. I remember like it was yesterday, I was in kindergarten. My teacher told the class that we were having a tornado drill and we needed to go out in the hallway. Soon enough it was clear, it was no drill, it was the real thing. My mom came to the school with my cousin to pick me up before it got too bad. When we got back to my house my dad and sisters were standing at the door with my aunt, and dad finally told us to go to the basement. He could feel the door pushing on his stomach as he stood against it from the high winds. After being down there for a couple minutes my mom decided to go upstairs and get the animals. As she was getting the dog and cat from the garage, she noticed our front porch had been torn off the house and was laying in our front yard, she called my dad upstairs to look. Finally after it was all said and done, we all came upstairs to find the roof and pillars of our porch laying in the front yard. Ever since i've been terrified of storms.

I hate tornados too. I remember when I was 7 there was a tornado warning for my town. Everyone else in my family was sitting in the living room watching TV. I on the other hand was sitting in a closet with a flashlight and a blanket. I didn't come out of the closet until the storm was completely over.
Storms used to be a fear when I was a kid also. But now since I've gotten older I've come to enjoy them. But you, remind me of my sister. Who is terrified of tornadoes.
I love storms . But they've never done any damage to my house though .
i remember that storm in old Danvers. It was pretty bad we lost some of our big! trees.
