I feel your pain. When I was younger, I was wary of it, because my bat**** mother had all of these Thunderstorm Safety Guidelines we had to follow - no being on the phone, no showers or baths, and if you have to pee, it's probably best to just hold it til the storm is over, but if you MUST use the toilet, do it as quickly as possible to cut short any opportunity lightning might have to zap you in the ass.
Because lightning is attracted to water.
And the toilet is basically a mini swimming pool.
That you sit on.
Thanks, mom.
But I didn't get really terrified until much later, when I was pregnant with my son. I was already insane due to hormones, and that summer was packed with major storms, and Ryan was always at work, so I was alone all the time and accidentally convinced myself that lightning was going to come in the window and hit me in the stomach and fry the baby.
I'm a bit better now, but I will still go "yipe!"
