Are you scared of the lightning?
« on: September 01, 2014, 04:26:35 pm »
I am terrified of the lightning in my whole life. It even wakes me up in my deep sleep at night.

If you dont respect lightning you are foolish.

I have always respected it and sometimes you get caught by surprise...like being on a golf course when a sudden thunderstorm moves in.........scary!!!

Yeah, if it gets super intense, my anxiety flares up. I like stormy days, though.

I am not afraid of lightning if I am safe within my house, but I would definitely look for shelter if out in the open.  I actually enjoy watching lightning storms (again, looking out from indoors) but do not like thunder so loud that it makes my ears ring.  I understand that lightning strikes usually hit the tallest objects in an area, but there have been exceptions.

Lightning is a beautiful but it can be deadly. I like to see lighting but we have protect our self when we are outside when lightning. Standing under a tree is a bad idea, being in car is a safer side, it has metal roof and sides and we should not use the radio.

I wouldn't say I am scared of lightning but I would say I have a healthy respect for it.  I live in Florida and its considered to be very lightening prone and there are a lot of lightening caused deaths in Florida especially the area of Florida we live in.

I'm definitely afraid of lightning if outdoors, so would quickly get inside.  I have a friend that was struck by lightning, and thankfully is fine!  Even inside, though, if it's intense, I get anxious, since years ago lightning struck our house and caused our tv and garage door opener to short out.  If it's bad, I make sure to unplug our desktop computer.
