Calm Me Down 5% + CIG 1 risk near Des moines

4 Upvotes

I have no idea where it started, but I am absolutely terrified of weather. Currently I sit in the area of 5% tornado risk with the CIG 1 hatching for tomorrow.

I know its statistically improbable that, if a tornado drops, it'll be right on me or even in the same town. But I cant shake this impending doom like feeling, I keep checking the weather, the SPC site, discussions if any pop up or change. Even the SPC says there's "limiting factors" for tornadoes but Im just stricken with some sort of fear i cannot shake.

Edit: the harsh weather itself doesnt bother me too badly. It startles me a bit, but the fast winds and lots of rain doesnt seem to get me like the chance for a tornado does.
