Not doing good today

[AutumnWitchie]

Today marks 21 years since my family was hit by tornadoes. I had forgotten the day because of Easter being Sunday. That is, until the weatherman called for the threat of severe weather for today. I couldn't sleep last night, finally dragged myself off to bed at 4:00 this morning. Got woken up at 6:30a.m. by a strong thunderstorm. That was it, I got sick to my stomach and couldn't sleep anymore. Now there is the threat of severe storms this afternoon too. I'm trying to act as if I'm not as nervous as a cat in a room full of rockers for the sake of my 4 year old. I'm so jittery and distracted. Any other date I would be a little nervous about the weather but today..............Sorry, had to see it in print to try to reason with myself. Anybody got a traqulizer handy? LOL

Your reaction is quite understandable. Next month it will be four years since my family was hit by an F4 tornado, they survived with no injuries (other than to possessions), but we all get pretty spooked when watches are issued.

Sending huggs and calming, protective energies.

Thanks you all! I've made it through the day, just very tired. No more bad weather today. Lunacie, I would have thought after 20 years I would be better about storms. At least I don't freeze up like I did as a kid. I was only 10 when it happened so it was major event in my formative years.

Yes, it is a major event. My granddaughter was 3 years old when her parents grabbed her and ran for the basement. She was so frightened she threw up all over her mother. They sat there in the dark and listened to the roar and the shattering and wondered if the house would crash in on top of them. Then they finally emerged to a scene of chaos and destruction in the pitch black, illuminated by headlights and searchlights and voices calling for their loved ones. It's no wonder she still comes home from school in tears on days when the sky grows dark and the wind blows hard and she doesn't know if she will make it home or what she will find when she gets here.

Hugs and healing energy to her and to you and to every other person who has survived a tornado, or a hurricane. I can't even imagine listening to the wind and the stuff breaking apart for hours instead of only minutes.

And sympathy to those who felt helpless while waiting for news from their loved ones who were in the path of the storm, and didn't get the phone call I got saying that they okay.
