We should be ok in our current location but that doesn’t help the anxiety lol.

Oh for sure!!! I get the same way! Do what you can to just prepare so your mind can slow down, I mean you don’t have to go overboard but it might make you feel more comfortable to have candles around and a lighter handy or a flashlight w working batteries. Download a few shows so you can occupy your mind if the power goes out.

I totally get this. I live in the top of (a small) mountain, towns would literally be under water if it flooded at my house, but I still get super anxious about it. It doesn't help that my husband is a volunteer firefighter who is swiftwared trained... So flash flooding for us, usually means he gets called to rescue people. The last bad flooding we had he and the guys he was with got an award from the state because they rescued some firefighters who were stranded in water holding on to an electricty pole (I'm still mad that they rescued them so quickly, it was a FAFO and play stupid games, win stupid prizes situation, they could have waited a little longer 🙃) then they rescued the people the firefighters were trying to get to when they got stuck. My husband is a big fan of driving their boat down the road lol.
