Warnings
Are
So alarming
When
Tornadoes around you
Are forming
With TV
And sirens
Blaring
The
Whole population
Scaring
Though storms
Slowly
Dissipate
Leave behind
Altered
Mental states
Out of My Write Mind 
I have always feared thunderstorms especially severe ones. As a child we lived in tornado alley and weather warnings including tornado alerts were a part of life from May until mid September. As an adult I reside far awày from this geographical area but thunderstirms still trigger the childhood memories and fears. I respect these storms and their potential for destruction.

I have always lived in tornado country. Several touched down not far from childhood homes. It is frightening. I’m thankful we have a storm shelter in our present home, which provides some peace of mind when the sirens sound.

When I was a child my father set up a make shift storm shelter n the basement. We lived in a single family rental dwelling. It was built in a newly developed housing section of the city. The sewage system was not properly set up. One summer after my dad passed away we had a severe storm. We were going to take shelter in the basement until we noticed sewer water slowly entering the area. Now that was scarry.
