I wrote a journal entry "recently" about strange weather, complaining about winds and severe thunderstorms and such, but... agh. I've just been disturbed from my attempts to sleep by hail, lightning, and house-shaking thunder... It was snowing a week ago. T_T

And after having had many nightmares about fire since last summer's plentiful amount of "severe thunderstorms", I find this very distressing. I'm tired, but I also feel like I'm sickly afraid to go to sleep just in case I don't notice that there's a FIRE approaching and I should be evacuating or something ridiculous like that... -_-

I wonder how much global warming has to do with this, since I'm not at all used to thunderstorms in April or anything that could ever be classified as a "severe" thunderstorm... Those kinds you see on television where lightning flashes almost constantly. (Not that the one I'm experiencing now is "severe", it's just that they were like that a lot LAST year.) It makes me feel particularly frightened about the future, wondering if weather will get worse every year, eventually becoming disastrous... I'm finding it increasingly difficult to feel safe. D:
I'm also curious about what the weather is like in other parts of the world or if it's even really noticeably different to what it is usually.

And uh... I probably wouldn't normally get out of bed to write a journal about something like this, but I just feel so distressed because of it and writing about it might make me feel a bit better...! And at least the hail has stopped now... Guh, I was hoping I wouldn't have to worry about STORMS until at least JUNE!
