<human>: I don't want to make light of the terrible 9/11 tragedy, but mine happens to involve it.  I was in high school and living in Mountlake Terrace, WA with my dad.  The fact I lived there isn't really relevant.  I merely bring that up, because Mountlake Terrace, WA is about a 25 minute drive from the nearest major city (Seattle).

One late night shortly after 9/11, I was sitting on the computer chilling out.  My dad had already gone to bed.  It was raining outside.  

Suddenly, there was a crack of thunder... then a two second pause... followed by a loud sound from my dad's room of plastic blinds being violently ripped from the window.  My dad comes storming out of his room... butt-ass naked with his balls dangling in front of me... in a delirious state of total hysterical panic.  "WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!!! WE'RE FUCKING UNDER ATTACK!!!!!!... WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!!!!!!"... 

I tried to calm him down...  "Dude calm down... it's just thunder"...  but he wasn't listening to me... "NO, WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!!!!"  ... Granted, he was probably still in a dream-induced haze and not thinking clearly.  I'm not sure exactly what he saw out his bedroom window, but in his mind he apparently saw a nuclear explosion going off... in the middle of Mountlake Terrace, WA.  He was able to replace his broken window blinds the next day... but mentally, his son was scarred for life by the image.  

Side note:  I also should mention that my best friend's mom wouldn't let him go to the Alderwood Mall (in Lynnwood, WA) for a good two months after 9/11, because she was utterly convinced it was a target for a terrorist attack.  Yeah... Alderwood Mall... clearly the main strategic location for a follow-up attack.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Dad came running out of his bedroom butt-ass naked in a frenzy, because he mistook thunder for nuclear attack by bin Laden
