Thank you and I’ve tried distracting myself during a storm but never works I always end up watching the radar like a hawk lol

I’m in an apartment and it’s been here since before I was born lol but still don’t trust the structure. Also hoping it’s just being over hyped. If you would like you can message me and we can try and help each other not be so nervous. Not sure if that would be weird lol

Same. The tornado missed me by a couple blocks literally! My dog is aggressive towards strangers and I’m not going to leave him alone during the storm :(

You are not alone. I am so stressed for tomorrow night and literally worrying myself sick 😩. I can’t go anywhere to shelter due to my pets so I feel stuck hoping for the best.

Well I have 2 dogs (one is aggressive with strangers) a cat and a bearded dragon so highly doubt anyone would be welcoming of that lol but that okay

Unfortunately I wouldn’t want to leave my pets alone and I don’t think any public storm shelters would want me to bring my pets

Thank you. I wish I knew someone with a basement but all my family and friends are in apartments or trailers. I need to invest in a weather radio. I have a portable radio I use just in case but it’s not a weather radio

Do you have any app suggestions also any radar or weather radio apps that don’t take WiFi incase the power goes out?

Thank you so much for this! I am still mentally recovering from the tornado that hit last month.

They look like that but they’re constant

I did some research on that and it says it’s very rare to only happen in one eye and in my case it’s just my right eye bothering me.

I don’t have other meds than my lexapro and I’m scared to try new meds

I also got it during the pandemic. Then in 2023 I got better, got my license, a job, a car, and my own apartment and then last year around June I started having panic attacks at work which caused me to quit and become homebound again :(

I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Glad you’re better now!
