Storm anxiety turned into trauma several years ago and I’m terrified of this hurricane

I’ve always been petrified of storms. It’s improved over the years and I’ve found aspects of weather I admire. But I’ve always had issues. Well I live in Florida and I’m almost in a direct path of the hurricane coming. I’m absolutely terrified.

Several years ago, when we were hit with Irma, a lot was happening in my life that was traumatic. But that storm has left scars emotionally. We didn’t even sustain much damage aside from a long power outage for like a day or two. Maybe three. I can’t remember. If I hear wind in the trees in a way that’s the same as that storm, I get really anxious.

Idk what about it was traumatic. But it was apparently. And right now I’m so out of sorts… I’m writing this about to freak out and so after I finish this I’ll go do something to calm down.
