Answer 1

Okay, try this...

* Collect theses items and put them in a safe inside room or basement.

2 blankets, at least 5 gallons of drinking water, canned goods or MRE type foods that don't require special storage, a good flashlight and lots of extra batteries, candles, matches and a good portable radio. If ya think hard you can come up with other items like T.P etc.

Store all these items in a big leak-proof plastic container along with a 10x10 or better plastic tarp. With these items you will know that no matter what you will be prepared to survive from several days to a week on your own till emergency help arrives. Knowing that you've done this will give you peace of mind and should help you a lot with your feelings of not being prepared.

Answer 2

I don't think that this will help, but you should know that panic kills more people every year than storms

Answer 3

There is no reason to hang on to your past experience with storms. Hang on to the good memories and let the bad ones go.

The next time it rains remember it's just rain, don't panic just get your rain gear and head out.

You won't have many good experiences if your head is full of bad ones. Good luck , you'll overcome your fear just keep trying.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Think better thoughts

Don't think you'll die

Think that you'll get through to safely
