I manage my worry through knowledge and preparation…
Knowledge - Basic rule of thumb:
No need to worry until the sirens turn on
If they do, all ya gotta do is look at the red warning box and see if you’re in it. Usually, you ain’t. And if you’re near it, still don’t worry - they make the boxes bigger than the real prediction cone, just in case. Outside the red box, you very likely won’t see a tornado.
Preparation - have the following ready for if you are ever in the red warning box:
-Wear-
Waterproof work boots
Tough jeans
T shirt and Hoodie
Rain coat
Leather work gloves
Pair of ear plugs per person
Pair of safety glasses per person
-Pack in backpack-
First aid kit
Granola / protein bars - 3 per person
Sandwich baggies of dog food - 3 per dog
Bottles of water - 3 per person/dog
Tarp
Flashlight and spare batteries
Keep the backpack in the basement or a central bathroom/closet.
It's been too long.
I missed CS.
A tornado watch has been issued for DFW until 7am. Coming through @ 2::30ish (2:37am) for DFW.
Who wants to try to NOT panic w/me for 7 hours? Alerts came through right before midnight. As everyone sleeps.
"Just work on your anxiety" they said.
Oh, and somehow also get some sleep so I can function tomorrow
*kid, partner, & 2 dogs sleeping through this*
