astrafobia

Definition from Wiktionary:
astrafobia f. = paura dei tuoni e dei fulmini
Example sentences:
L’Astrafobia è la paura persistente dei tuoni e dei fulmini. Molte persone manifestano questo tipo di paura, con una forte intensità per i lampi, tuoni o il vento. In alcuni casi, questi timori sono altamente invalidanti, costringendo la persona che ne soffre a restare chiusa in casa, per tutta la durata del temporale. Durante un acquazzone, l’immaginazione potrebbe trasformare quel piccolo temporale in un tornado distruttivo, lo scenario diventerebbe apocalittico. (Psychological Center)
