conv: This year we have had a record number of tornadoes in our area. It really freaks my son out when we have to go into the basement while it storms outside. We have had a record number of tornadoes in my area so far this year. My son really hates going into the basement while it is storming outside. That sounds really scary!  Is your son afraid or is he use to it? He is only three_comma_ so it is pretty scary for him each time. I hate to see him that way. I would hate that as well. I hope he learns to cope with it.
