Now in enhanced risk

I'm trying not to spiral but it is pretty difficult not to. Granted it's just due to wind, but it doesn't stop making me worry about possible tornadoes. Even if it is only wind, I'm worried about damage or my power being knocked out while it's still severely hot. I knew there was a chance of severe weather by the end of the week but I was hoping it would lessen.

Predictions for Wednesday are terrifying me

I've been trying to watch videos about how Wednesday will go in order to better understand, but it just leaves me more terrified about a possible tornado. I don't want to give too many details as I don't want to accidentally go against the rules. I'm just screaming on the inside and wish I could take my whole household and teleport somewhere safe.

Really scared about Wednesday and Thursday

My area was in a 5% chance last Thursday and while nothing happened here, I'm so scared of my luck running out. I don't know what to do. Just packing a kit doesn't fully help as I have many things I wish I could safely store but I can't. I just keep hoping nothing will happen again. I've been silently panicking all day.

Tornado risk tomorrow

My area is in the yellow/5-9% chance for tornadoes tomorrow. I'm nervous because the last time it was in that risk, we did end up having one. I'm trying to calm myself down remembering it's just within 25 miles, so I looked up what the radius looked like and that sort of helped. Any other ways to calm down? As much as I love warmer weather, this is the part I hate the most.

Fear of the Unknown is horrible

My area so far is in the 15% risk for severe weather on Thursday. I have been trying to keep myself calm by distracting my brain and trying to remember anything can change within the next few days, tornadoes themselves are very rare in my general vicinity, nothing happening the last time we were in a risk area, etc. It's been insanely hard however because my mind keeps going to worst case scenario. Despite it being an EF1 and it being maybe about half a mile from my house, having a tornado show up a couple months ago when I was in crippling fear all day seemed to have done a number on me. Knowing EF5s happen here and there being a few instances of them make my anxiety even worse.

I wouldn't even mind some straight winds as long as it isn't too strong and causes severe damage. Would it still be a little scary? Yes, but I just don't want tornadoes.
