Do you find windy weather scary?

[DareIask]

I do. Not sure what I'm frightened of exactly.. damage to property I think.

Its just so uncontrollable.

Me too. I imagine the roof lifting clean off and blowing away across the sky

I love it. I love listening to it outside and know that I’m all cosy and warm inside.

High winds can be very unnerving, I agree. We have a very large tree near our house, and high winds always make me a bit edgy.

No, I love it.

I like it. I can hear the waves crashing! It’s relaxing.

No, I find it invigorating, it makes me yearn for something but I don't know what. Freedom maybe, it's so free.

I say this every time it's super windy. The teens laugh but that's how it feels.
I just won't sleep well all night, I know the roof is secure, it's new but still.

I live in a house in woodland. I absolutely love it. It’s really loud tonight but I find it soothing. On nights with no wind the noise is foxes or owls. So either way it’s rarely a quiet night in the respect of nature.

I hate it. It’s not fear of anything happening but the constant low level noise grates on me and I end up really tense.

I’ve got my ear plugs in now

I don't mind windy weather and don't find it particularly scary, but what I do worry about is it causing power outages. I find power cuts really stressful.

Yes, I’m exactly the same. Just the sound makes me all irritated and unsettled, but since perimenopausal anxiety kicked in, I’m now also terrified of the house being damaged.

If things get too bad tonight I’ll probably come down and sleep (or try to) on the sofa. It seems better being downstairs. I also use white noise to try to block it out as I go to sleep.

I hate the noise more than anything, so whooshy and angry

No I find it extremely relaxing listening to it

Not at all . Was raised in a very windy wet place .

Yes hate it

It's really windy here tonight. I was in the shop and it blew the doors open

Have we got a storm going on?

Does anyone know when it's likely to stop?

I love howling wind especially when raining too and I’m tucked up in bed

I do at the minute because our roof needs work doing. And it’s an old house with huge heavy stone roof tiles that would do a lot of damage if it came down.

I love it. I've just come up to bed and, unless it is freezing, always sleep with my window slightly open. I'm loving hearing the wind whistle through the gap of my open window and around the houses as I snuggle down under my feather duvet.

Yes, but as an adult I got blown over by the wind once and blown down the road.

I used to. I once invested in bomb blast window film and during particularly bad storms I would sleep on the floor of my then babies room, with her white noise cd blaring. I also started crying during a science lesson when I was at college because I was convinced the wind was going to blow the large windows in. I don’t know why but it doesn’t bother me anymore

Yes. Because I grew up in South Florida with hurricanes. High wind is absolutely frightening.

Yes. My bedroom faces south west, out over playing fields, reservoirs and marshes. You can literally hear the wind roaring in to slam into the house.

I won't be getting a good night's sleep tonight.

Yes I find it scary and worry about homeless people
