I already knew. but thank you.
I tend to study my phobias.
I went through a Tornado phobia and what did I do?
Watch tornado chasers on TV of course.
I used to be afraid of bad weather. The tornado drills back in elementary school were a little too melodramatic, like air raid drills. From then on I was afraid of weather that might spawn tornados. Here's how I dealt with it... Years later, I had a fucking tornado rip through the front yard and then go rip the roof off a neighbor's house. (Well, I didn't
have it rip through the front yard. The front yard just happened to be in its path.) It was night and I didn't know what was going on at the time. The Weather Radio went off with a tornado warning, so I knew one was in the area, just not how close. Apparently,
real close. We went outside afterward and saw the mess it left. Cleared that fear right up. My crazy bitch of an aunt was there. She was even more afraid of weather, and it was worth it to see her scared shitless. I could barely hear the Weather Radio because she wouldn't shut up. Maybe that's why I didn't realize how close it was.
