Who might get astraphobia?

Children are more likely to have astraphobia. Those with sensory processing disorders or autism spectrum disorder are likelier to fear storms, too.

You are also more likely to have astraphobia if you have:

• Family history of depression, anxiety or phobias.
• Family members with astraphobia.
• Past experience of weather-related trauma, such as living through a major natural disaster.
