. A properly installed lightning rod is the best protection for any building during a thunderstorm. Having a solid plan in place for severe storms can help alleviate your fears. Figure out the safest place in your home during a storm, away from windows. Basements, interior rooms, or rooms on the first floor are good for this. Figure out what you will do if you are outdoors or in a car during the storm. You can pull your car into a parking lot or onto the side of the road if it starts to storm. A car is usually safe to be in during a thunderstorm. Facing your fear by exposing yourself to the thing you are afraid of can help you desensitize yourself. Consider listening to sound recordings of storms, making sure it includes heavy thunder. Do this occasionally during calm weather so you know that you are safe. Try doing this a few times a week to help decrease your fear.  You also can watch videos of storms. However, you should wait until the sounds of storms do not make you overly upset. Don't get frustrated if you don't get used to them immediately, or you see no change the next time there's a storm. It takes awhile to desensitize yourself to something you are afraid of. People who are scared of storms often use items to help them feel more secure during storms. To try to break your reliance on these items and lessen your fear, use fewer protection items. This helps you become more comfortable dealing with the storm instead of clinging to safety items. Each time there is a storm, try to make one small change.  For example, you can use smaller blankets, stay in the living room instead of hiding in  your room, or leave the door open when you’re in the closet. Do this slowly because you won't be able to get rid of everything at once. If you need, have someone sit with you as you use fewer safety items. You shouldn’t constantly check the weather forecast because you are afraid it is going to storm. This can lead to more anxiety instead of helping. Focus on handling the situation when a storm happens unexpectedly instead of obsessing over the forecast.
