afraid of thunderstorms...?

learn the science behind every aspect of thunderstorms, like atmospheric dust holding water molecules, attracts more, forms drops of water, thunder caused by lightning shooting through the atmosphere at faster than sound speeds (hence, the delay), electrical charge of earth and sky, etc...

That would be podophobia (although I'm not sure if the word actually exists).\nI actually knew a guy (he attended one of the courses I teach) who had fear of his own feet. Can you believe it? When we made the field trip that was part of the course (to a beautiful subtropical reservation, with lakes included) he could only go in the lake if the water was muddy enough that he could not see his feet. And he always wore socks (it was summer!!!).

Earthquakes= not bad for me, because I don't live in a danger zone.\nFloods= don't scare me, I can swim strongly and pack up all my valuable possesions (pats DS Lite lovingly) in about two minutes.\nWildfires= again, not in the danger zone.\nSo that leaves tornados, because they strike so quickly and you never know how bad they will be. Where I live, from about last week till the end of September, everyday merrits a "tornado watch" (or is it warning? Which ever one is worse). They can take out whole sections of a town in seconds and you can't be prepared for them. Luckily, I have a deep basement so when they come, I just go down in the nasty, windowless hole and wait 'em out.

Yup. Last year I was on the freeway and it started raining REALLY hard in sheets, my car hydroplaned, flipped and hit the center divider, ended up facing the wrong direction in the carpool lane. Tried to get out but my door was jammed shut and I couldnt feel my legs, all I saw was headlights coming toward me and rain...scariest thing ever.

Yes.  I have an irrational fear of snakes.  They terrify me.  I was in high school and in my science class, they had people from the zoo bring in animals.  They brought these snakes that are called worm snakes because they are no bigger than an earthworm.  Well, when they brought them out of their cage, I started to get a little uneasy.  My teacher noticed this and thought he would be helping me by seeing that there was nothing to be afraid of.  He went to put it in my hand and as soon as I touched it, I freaked out and ran out of the classroom.  I wound up having a panic attack because of it.  I highly doubt that I will ever get over fearing snakes.  There is just something about them that scares the living daylights out of me.

Fear of earthquakes, flooding, water pollution - just some ideas to get you started.

Having been in the path of a direct hit by Hurricane Claudette on July 15, 2003, I have to say that I'm not so sure about hanging around for something like that again.  The house I live in made it through Hurricane Carla in 1961 packing winds (COMING ASHORE) of 165 mph.  I now figure if it's barely a hurricane of say 74-80 mph, a category one, I will probably stay.  That doesn't mean I won't be scared as hell, but something of that size going North or South of here isn't going to cause me to leave.  We were blindsided by Hurricane Claudette sneaking up the coast overnight and caught EVERYBODY "with their pants down" so to say.  That was probably the scariest thing I've ever been witness to in my 43 years on this planet.  The wind was screaming past my front door right at 100 mph.  Had I known that was on the way we would have got the hell out of here.  One tornado took out huge trees right next door, while I only had to replace about five shingles.  That tornado went right over the house while I was putting all 240 pounds of me on the front door trying to close it.  The whistling was like screaming banshees.  The wind was howling.  I mean literally howling.  It still scares me to think about it. For most of my life I wondered what it would be like to ride out a hurricane.  Now I know.  Will I leave or ride it out?  Chances are pretty good I'm outta here.  Many "old-timers" and idiots thought they could ride out another hurricane.  Many of those "old-timers" and idiots didn't make through to tell us all about it.  Don't be an idiot.  Listen to your common sense and watch the advisories.  If this message helps to save your life or someone else's, then I haven't typed this in vain.  Good luck.

Yeah! I love em. I'm a weather freak. I'll stand outside until it starts hailing hard or I'm gonna get struck by lightning. But if they're at night when I'm trying to sleep, and I can't see much, it's not so fun. Especially if hail is hitting your window with 60 mph wind gusts. when I get out on my own, I wanna be a storm spotter

I have feared swings since I was a little child. I'm not sure if there is a name for a "Fear of swings." I would have nightmares of swings and the potential of injuring another. I am probably the most fearless person and possibly the craziest (I have ate bugs + other unimaginable things). I also love heights and wouldn't mind a snake or spider crawling on my skin. There should be a phobia for swings. I kinda in the process of writing an autobiography of myself for my English class, and I talked about those horrific nightmares. I would also have nightmares of me being enclosed in a cube that would become smaller and smaller. I don't believe I have Claustrophobia. Who knows???

I'm in Hampton Roads, VA and we're having one of those gorgeous Spring thunderstorms.  My apartment complex is real junk so none of the gutters work very well and water is overflowing and shooting everywhere.  Of course all the trees are a really nice soft green color, I think because we had a unfortunately mild Winter.  It's so dark, but the lightning is hard to see through all this rain; however, there's some really excellent thunder.

well, alot of people are afraid of a mean or vicious dog, but if you know right where to kick a charging dog, and you know how to disable it (i love dogs though, I've never had to do that yet.  they're all just big sweeties)  i guess you wouldn't be as afraid...\n\nalot of people are afraid of spiders, but all you have to do is squish them really fast, and everythings OK.  \n\nterrorists?  hurricanes?  you hear about a hurricane coming into your area, you evacuate.  nobody really trys to sit and stare at the sky... although i have seen some pretty dumb people in texas do it while watching the weather channel.  \n\nwow.  i guess there are some people that aren't afraid of hurricanes but are afraid of a little spider or something.  \n\nor you could look at it another way, stupid people aren't afraid of anything.
