Is it normal that i get scared of thunderstorms...

I am petrified of thunderstorms and usually if there is one coming I stay inside the house until its almost completely dry outside. The thing is when it rains, its completely fine with me and sometimes I even just stand there. Does anyone know why I get scared of thunderstorms but not rain? O_o

  • It's a pretty common fear. I personally love being inside and watching a thunderstorm with lightning and everything from my window.

    I know this feeling of fearing thunderstorms.In the summer, many thunderstorms can start in a blink on an eye.I remember I was outside, sitting and talking with friends, when suddenly big drops of water started to fall, and the lightnings were soo scary! I felt so reliefed when I got in the house!
    Anyway, I love to stay in the rain, that's so nice feeling!

    Where I live there is hardly any thunderstorms. So, when we do get one my nose is pressed up against the window trying to see everything.

    Because you've heard of people being hit by lightning and the loud unexpected bang of thunder is startling.
