I think I have an odd phobia. Why?

I think I have an odd phobia of whirlpools. Those things scare me to death when I hear them making that sucking sound near the jet in my pool. I love swimming, and when I was younger I was fascinated by tornadoes and I loved learning about them. a whirlpool is just like a tornadoes in water? So why am I so scared of them?
