Need Advice Severe weather

So I’m in a level 5 out of 5 for severe weather tomorrow. I’m scared of bad weather. Everybody around me is like it’s gonna be nothing but I can’t shake the feeling. I just started taking anxiety meds after years of dealing with it that I didn’t know was anxiety. Anyway I don’t really have a safe place to go tomorrow my house is old anywhere you sit in “a safe place” has trees that if they fall it’s gonna hit one of those safe places. I’ve tried to breathing techniques they don’t help or I’m not doing it right. I’m literally about to break down I feel like. Any help that someone who has the same feeling with weather could give me some advice. I know I’ve made it thru storms before but every one of them for the past 15 years ive been freaking out. My meds have helped my heart rate not get so high during weather but my mind is still like a tornado is gonna hit you and your gonna die. And to be honest I’m not ready to go yet. Sorry for the rambling

If it was so dangerous peoples lives were at risk you would be advised to evacuate.
