Shana,
It is very common in panic attack sufferers to fear the effects of weather, I know the blackouts in NY caused numerous attacks in PD sufferers, we had an Ice storm last Feb that left us in the dark for a week, its not the dark per se that is so fearful, its the feeling of not being in touch with the outside world if we need it that is so scary, with us, I know I wondered what if I have one I cant even get to the hospital as the roads were so bad, even hospitals were on generators, our phones are cordless, no power no phone, even our cell phone cant survive a week without battery charging. Its a normal fear.
