Long shot, The Lost & Found?I don't see anything about storms, but the MCs both belong to an online support group for trauma survivors.
I just realized 2016 is before Hurricane Harvey.Down Came the Rain does deal with Harvey, but 2023 is outside your time window. It has two teens dealing with climate-related disasters.
It was Down Came the Rain! Thank you!

I saw this on a list of newly-acquired/soon to be published books. This was late 2010's, around 2017-2019. It was YA with a female author and was likely American given the subject matter. There wasn't much available for it, just the synopsis. The author said she wrote it as a response to climate change and how global warming is making storms worse and more frequent.
The actual book was fictional and for YA. It was about a girl with storm trauma from Hurricane Harvey hitting her home who ends up going to a support group for storm anxiety. There she meets a boy who is mentally shattered from a devastating tornado outbreak in the Midwest. I don't remember which outbreak this was, it could've been made-up by the author or I just don't remember the specific one used.
Unfortunately that's all I remember because like I said, this wasn't even published yet when I first saw it. Did it ever even get published? Is it completely different if it did? I guess I'll find out!
