She was afraid of the weather, and now she predicts it for the National Weather Service in Lincoln.
Rebekkah Delaney suffered what’s known as “weather anxiety.” but then faced her fears by getting a degree in meteorology and joining the weather service.
“After I learned how to cope when I was in my early teens, I decided that the weather service was where I wanted to go and help other people like me learn and grow out of this fear and understand that weather is beautiful, and it’s not something to be scared of.”
Delaney, who presented a webinar on weather anxiety, encourages people to look at the National Weather Service web site – and even sign up for classes.
