Answer 1

Power down your PC and peripherals. Don't use a phone while it is thundering.  

I love the lightning and thunder; I seem to come alive in a massive storm.  I remember as a child (3) standing on the porch watching the storm.  There was a metal pan in the yard, and I knew not to go near it because of the lightning.  My mom taught me well.

This storm, like so many others, will pass.  You will be safe.  If you get too frightened, slide under your bed, or stay in an inside room away from the windows.

Blessings -- you'll be okay.

I live for storms like that. Don't worry, just stay indoors and don't talk on the phone during the storm. Check the same weather update, it should give an estimate to the length of the storm.

Answer 3

30 to 40 mph winds are not that bad. It also dosn't always get as bad as they say it will.

Answer 4

Answer 5

This storm may cause damage with winds up 30-40 mph it sounds a little bit dangerous

Answer 6

Small storm but it's still scary alone. Stay on the bottom floor and away from open windows. Try not to think of it. Keep a light on to make it less scary. And in case the power goes out make sure you have a flashlight ready with good batteries. It does'nt sound like a big storm so don't worry.
