[quote=Anonymous]It felt like the whole DC area overreacted to this weather forecast. My 13 year old asked me if I thought she should be worried and I said no (as a DC native who saw the derecho thunder by and read about small freak weather event tornados over the years). My 11 year didn’t pay attention at all and fully enjoyed the half day. Kids don’t have much perspective on these weather forecasts… unless they came from a place with a real tornado threat. I would try to explain to her why tornados are more likely in a place like Kansas and much less likely in a place with varied terrain. By the way, there are so many reasons why kids get scared of the Wizard of Oz. My husband was terrified of the monkeys as a kid. I avoided looking at the witch. But, the tornado actually transports Dorothy and Toto to a magical place! Maybe your daughter latched onto how unrealistic that is? Maybe you guys need to talk it out.[/quote]
