Okay, here's the thing. When I was young, I was scared of thunder and lightning. When I got older, I stopped being scared of thunderstorms. But, ever since I've become homebound, I've gotten scared of them again, but not the same way as when I was young. What scared me when I was a kid was the loud noise of the thunder and, of course, the lightning flashes (as the gif image above depicts). What scares me now is that storms may knock out the power. My family and I have health problems, so we need certain things to stay on. That said, I get nervous and uneasy when thunderstorms are expected to occur due to the possibility of power outages. While we don't always lose power when a storm hits, we more often lose it than not.
