DISCUSSION: Through the course of both the Spring-time and Summer-time months, there is a threat for a combination of severe weather event outbreaks and/or tropical cyclone events.  Having said that, along with the threat of severe weather events and/or tropical cyclone events, comes an inherent threat associated with the natural dangers associated with such atmospheric phenomena.  The threat of severe storms and tropical cyclones alone can often intimidate many people into a state where they are left feeling helpless and not knowing what to do during any period of time leading up to such an event.  Thus, many people will often talk to mental health professionals about such issues or work to seek out someone or some resource which could help alleviate the headaches tied to worrying about such threats.

However, in thinking about such issues, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS) has created a platform to help people that contend with issues pertaining to storm anxiety and provides suggestions for people who suffer from such fears.  It is worth noting that a fear of storms and the natural danger tied to them is a completely natural part of life as severe weather can produce some of the greatest natural threats to life and property that exist on Earth.  Thus, the link to this resource provided by the NOAA NWS which is attached above provides some great tips and pointers for dealing with this terrible problems with plagues many people all over the world every day.
