[quote=Anonymous]Talk about preparedness: identify the safest spaces in your home as well as alternatives if you were not at home.  Also reassure her that while tornadoes and other extreme weather events are possible in this area, they are incredibly rare.  Let her talk about or write about or do artwork if she’d like that. And, if you have any comforting stories, then share them with her.

As a child, I remember cuddling with my Dad on our upstairs back porch during summer thunderstorms. The storms raged (relatively speaking) outside, while my Dad and I were safe and comfortable inside.   I also remember a blackout that happened just after our popcorn popper popped the last few kernels in the batch.  We sat out on the front porch, as other families did, and munched popcorn, then we kids played games like tag while our parents chatted nearby on their porches.   So, while the parents may have had their worries, there were things that they did that made these events seem calm and even enjoyable for the kids.  [/quote]
