Astraphobia, also known as Brontophobia, Keraunophobia, or Tonitrophobia, is an abnormal
fear of
thunder and
lightning, a type of a
specific phobia.
Symptoms (similar to that of all other extreme
phobias) can include, but are not limited to acute
panic attacks,
breathing difficulty,
rapid heartbeat,
sweaty palms, and
nausea. Sometimes, these feelings can become overwhelming.Many individuals who are afflicted by this condition try to cope with their fear by hiding from the source itself. During a
thunderstorm, children typically hide in seemingly secure windowless places, such as a cupboard under a staircase or under their bed. Adults and teenagers share the same thought mechanism as the aforementioned and will essentially seek solace anywhere one cannot see or hear the storm.
