Try to figure out what part of it is actually bothering you and try to rationalize it away. The bathroom part is normal ur body is trying to prepare the flight . (get rid of it now so u dont have to do it later during the actual storm event--- as ur probably worrying that if it does hit u wouldnt have a place to actually go later) FEAR= False Evidence Appearing Real, thought tornados are definatly real, if you still do what i assume ur parents trained you to do ( hide in a safe location) the fear is just a defect of the fight or flight response, i have it to on some things and im much older than you. you are not immature, ur actually more mature than most adults i know you admit you have a fear and trying to learn how to deal with it. that is very mature.

I cry when I see mold. -Just know what to do if there was an actual tornado! Have a hideout place ready with a flash light, water, and anything else you might need. -Know it is most likely the tornado will blow right over without causing damage, but if it's real severe, it's normal to be a tad bit nervous. Just be safe, keep away from windows, and you should be ok. -Think of the stories you'll tell when your older if you have a tornado. It’s cool, I am petrified of mold. I cry when I see mold.

Try and rationalize the event. The media blow every story they cover out of proportion including weather reports. Here is another site you may wish to veiw http://phobias.about.com/od/phobiaslist/a/lilapsophobia.htm?rd=1 Some one in yahoo answers coverd this previous here is the link.
