At about 5am, we had a tornado warning go off on my phone as we have no sirens where we live. He lives with us 2(parents)I'm bonded with him. And 4 kids. And 3 other pack mates. This is the 1st time in my 31 yrs I've ever heard the forbidden freight train noise that comes with a tornado.
I was the 1st to wake and open the front door to access the situation, as it was still dark out. It took a total of 10 mins before the tornado came and went. I saw the sky flash green, heard a couple of trees gall, and then the hail. We are safe. Very small tornado passed. F1. But now I'm having the issue of him not wanting to go outside at night. He is 15 with some bladder issues, on medicine for it. He is absolutely terrified. He was always terrified of fireworks before he grew out of it, but now refuses to go out at night. He always has to go, and I'm sad that he pissed himself in fear when we hears the freight train noise of the tornado. It scared me too. I'll never not hear it again. Any suggestions to get my scared boy comfortable again with going out at night? I can't drug him anymore due to age.
