So it was storming this morning with thunder & lightning and I happen to be afraid of storms especially lightning.

I didn't even take a shower or brush my teeth this morning out of fear of using the water during a storm. Lightning really really freaks me out and during a storm I agonize about where it will strike.

When I got to work today I was talking to my co worker who is from Chicago and she proceeded to tell me that this storm was considered just rain in Chicago. She says they have major storms and basically now I'm scared.

Is this true?
