Hi all. I don't believe that I have PTSD, but, I thought I would post here just to offer support, and also to talk a little bit about weather anxiety.

I'm from Tuscaloosa, and I live about 1/4 mile away from the path of destruction that the tornado left in April (I can see ruins of buildings and treeless land from my front porch), and now, everytime there is any kind of weather advisory or even the threat of strong weather, I think the city itself seizes up a bit with worry. Ive never experienced anything like that in my life, and Im very lucky to have lived through it.

In 1998, I was in Nashville, TN when the tornado hit the downtown area, and we narrowly escaped death (in a charter bus full of fellow 7th graders) that day. I think I need to get out of the southern US! lol

Anyone else here from Tuscaloosa, Alabama, or Joplin, Missouri or Phil Campbell, Alabama or Hackleburg, Alabama or any other areas that were heavily hit back in April?
