Astraphobia
Astraphobia is the fear of lightning and thunder. People with this condition often have overwhelming feelings when they experience such weather conditions. The common symptoms are quite similar to those forms of phobias such as increased respiration, quick heart rate, and shaking. During a lightning storm or thunder, they might try to hide from the event by finding a shelter such as under the bed covers or even ducking inside the bathroom or closet. Also, they would develop excessive preoccupations with the weather and spend a lot of time every day tracking the national and local weather just to know when a storm would occur. [6]
