Well Milly... | Arthritis Information

Well Milly... it is coming your way! You better stock up on that pred soon, because this T-Storm might be headed down to FL!

We are having yet again... another severe T-Storm. I was wondering why my fingers decided to get swelled. It is suppose to pass by 2:00am.

I heard the next counties severe storm siren go off, and went to weather.com and checked it out. So... here I lay in bed, hubby sleeping on the couch, and me googling to see if there is any connection between RA, asthma, heart murmur, and Lupus.

Yes the storms today took out an airport not to far away. They had 90 mile an hour winds. Yes we are in for it again tomorrow night through Saturday.Oh I also have this "fear" of lightning come in through the window and striking my bed while I am in it. My bed is opposite the windows, which for me is not much safer than if my bed was by the windows. I have this crazy thought process that... lightning will come through the window and strike my bed because it has metal springs in it, and then I would be burnt toast.

Now that I have a heated mattress pad on my bed, I have even more of a "fear" of being zapped by lightning running in on my heated mattress pad and it making me burnt toast as well.

I cannot sleep when there is any kind of storm, especially if there is chance for a tornado to hit. I have yet another crazy thought that... if I go to sleep and a tornado comes through that it will hit my house and sweep me up and drag me off and I will be found miles away dead.

I also have this strange fear of being kidnapped. I just do not trust people at all. I use to call my mother-in-law when she owned the store across from our house, and tell her me & my daughter was on our way over there, only 500ft maybe, and if I was not there in 5 mins to come look for me as we might have been kidnapped. Well, of course, by the time I got down the drive-way she would be stand on the back side of the store watching for us. Because she knew of my fears of being kidnapped or abducted.

I just have the wierdest fears. My hubby thinks I am a freaking loon. But... at least I admit I have fears, and not act all macho and then pansy out.

I hate storms, im in southern louisiana and it has been raining off and on for the past week and when it rains it poors, floods etc.

The thunder is so loud, the lightning is so bright i just cringe, i cannot drive in this type of storm (can't drive right now anyway lol).

Above all, my dogs hate the storms and one has a panic attack every time it storms.

yeah... I am not so use to these storms. I grew up in California... and well... there were no tornadoes, ONLY earthquakes which I slept thru all of them that hit while I was living in that state.

I think I would take earthquakes over tornadoes any day.

Rain in California is nothing like it is out here in the south. I get all freaked out when it storms. And it really does not help that we live like 200ft from an active railroad track.

Oh and another one of my "fears" is that a train will derail and take out our house and the chemicals that are being transported will spill and kill us. Thanks to good ole grandpa for telling me that there use to be a train depot across the street, but was knocked down by a train that had derailed. Yep... Not something you need to tell someone like me LOL!

I do not have worries, and do not stress about it... but it is always in the back of my mind. Just like I am fearful, of only my side of the car being hit. I use to stress out everytime I got in a car, but that was because I was in an accident where we wrapped around a tree. And before that I was already jumpy about being in cars. To me if you went over the speed limit, you were going to wreck and kill me. I remember being a kid and telling my mom or who ever was driving the speed limit is 50MPH, and you are going 55MPH.

Darn lightning... I wish it would go away so I can go to sleep finally.

HA!

You want storms come to where I live. Wyoming is sooo extreme in the weather arena. Freezing winds 90 mph with windchills 30 below is no big deal here. I lived in central florida for a couple years during all the hurricanes 3 years ago and wow it was intense but nothing prepared me for the weather here. I do miss the florida lightening storms though.
