history: I was so scared of tornadoes growing up -- whenever tornado warnings happened, I was extremely frightened! As a kid_comma_ I was SO frightened any time there was a tornado warning. Not sure if it was the Wizard of Oz effect or what -- I just remember being frozen with fear. Oh_comma_ wow! My son was terrified of tornadoes because of that darn movie_comma_ and we don't really even get tornadoes where we live! Did you ever live through a tornado?
current: That's the thing -- NO! I mean, there were some that were kind of close -- but NOTHING like what so many folks have to deal with. I just remember wanting a basement sooooo badly -- not something that's common where I grew up!
next: Aw, poor little thing! How did you overcome this? Or, are you still afraid of them?
