[QUOTE="donna723, post: 78002, member: 1883"] I do the same thing. I have the website up for one of the local TV stations so I can watch the progress of the storm on their local weather maps. If it looks like it will be a bad storm, I get a flashlight. And I have a decorative plate in my back bedroom that has three fat candles on it and I get that too, just in case. That's about all I can do. Where do you live that you don't have thunderstorms? All this reminds me of my grandmother when I was a kid in Florida. She was terrified of storms (among a lot of other things!) If it started to rain hard, even if it was 3:00 a.m., she would get up, fix her hair, get completely dressed including shoes and stockings, gather a few of her most prized possessions, and then sit there on her sofa clutching her purse ... just waiting to be evacuated by the rescue folks. When it stopped raining (and it always stopped raining eventually) she'd go back to bed. Of course, she's also the one who saved her old WW2 ration books just in case we had another war and she might need them! You never know! [/QUOTE]
