Answer 1

You and I are in the same type of boat. I live in northern ohio and we have a tornado watch too. It will be Ok because a tornado WATCH means that conditions are able to form a tornado not that they will. Watch this video it helped me before

P.S. My county is just out of the tornado watch

Answer 2

Same Here!!!

I am in th same area of Michigan, and there are horrible storms and tornadoes!!!

Don't worry, nothing will happen!!! Its fine.Go in the lowest area of your house, and take cover.Plug your ears and close your eyes, and just forget about the bad weather.It will clear up soon!!!

Stay calm.Here are a few things that will make you feel better:

Tornadoes in Michigan barely EVER happen, and the sirens almost NEVER go off!!!

Even if there was a tornado, or a bad storm, in Michigan, no damage really happens!!!

HARDLY EVER do people get hurt because of a storm in Michigan!!!

Don't be nervous!!! Everything is OK!!! Take cover, and go into the lowest area of your house!!!

Answer 3

I live in Oklahoma and we have tornadoe watches and warnings everyday in the spring time!!! Don't worry!!! If it does hit go in the bath tub and put a mattress over you. Unless your bath tub is by a big window or has glass doors. Nothing will probably happen even if the sirens go off. Just know that everything will be okay!!! Don't worry!

Answer 4

Just calm down in Florida about 2 weeks ago there was really bad weather and every TV stoped and every TV said tornadoes and I was like freaken out.But it was just really bad weather.So calm down you will be fine.

Answer 5

Instead of focusing on your fear can you read something good or listen or do anything that can take your mind off of it. Remember it is you that is causing you to be terrifide so you can control your fear. Being afraid will not make you feel better & it won't protect you so choose something fun to do or something that reminds of a time when you felt safe. Do you like to watch something like a Disney movie not a scary one if there is any such thing or color is hug a teddy bear. I know you might feel too old for this but you are scared like a child & you need to let that child feel safe. Most of the things that we fear never happen so look at how safe you are most of the time. I wish I could help you more.

Answer 6

I live in Owosso and it's pretty much all finished, except for some lingering watches. You can calm down now.

Answer 7

Just use a belt and tie yourself down to a pole in the ground like they did in "Twister"......it will save you.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Yes, a tornado can be a very frightening thing or any severe storm for that matter. If you have a basement, go there, take along a flashlight in case of power outage. Remember, a WATCH is not a WARNING, so in all likelihood a tornado will not form. If you have no safe place in your living quarters, it`s best to leave before the storm arrives, seek shelter with friends or family who have more secure residents. You will be less frightened if you are in the company of others. Actual tornado touchdowns are rare for Michigan.
