The biggest anxiety for me that morning was NOT KNOWING what exactly had happened and what was going to happen next.
That's the big one with me. What's going on, and consequently, how much should I react? When we had the big September power outage, the news reports were saying three days before the power starts to come back on and boil water orders were being issued for adjacent neighborhoods. The power came back on less then 24 hours later. Once I know what I'm dealing with I can react properly and not pull a Chicken Little.
