Threat isn’t all the way up, but after recent events with tornadoes popping up everywhere there’s been even a slight threat, I don’t trust this line up at all.

For context, I live in Mississippi. We recently had the south of us get hit by some awful, awful tornadoes. The local, trustworthy pages I follow on social media are also saying things look bad right now. I’m panicking, I absolutely HATE, HATE, HATE living in fucking tornado alley. Living here has affected me mentally and physically from the constant stress of being under potential threats and monitoring. I don’t get people who like Spring, Spring is awful.

(Linking the SPC because it won’t let me screenshot. But for context, I’m barely in the green.)

For context, I haven’t flown since I was a very little kid. I’m almost 30 now and going to Jacksonville for a family vacation early next month. The plan is:

1. Meet up in Tennessee  
2. Fly to Atlanta  
3. Fly from Atlanta to Jacksonville

My brain has been going over every worse case scenario. (The news hasn’t helped either with the recent plane crash reporting, so that’s been fun for my anxiety. 😬) and, like, logically, I **know** flying is still one of the safest ways to travel, but unfortunately I’ve been diagnosed with OCD, which doesn’t exactly want to stop bombarding me anything soon.

Seeing people post success stories on the sub has helped a bit though, but my brain still wants to bully me with “what ifs”. I’m trying to hype myself, but as the day approaches, the more nervous I get.

Any advice? 🥲
