^^^ I honestly think part of the problem is overuse of the emergency system. Tornado warnings occur with such frequency that they lose meaning and import. Stopping everything in the middle of your day, turning off all the electric, and huddling in a small room in the basement for half an hour isn't fun. It's downright ****ty when it happens at night.
If we use Joplin as an example, they predicted that the storm system would produce Tornadoes a full twenty four hours in advanced. But, the people had been so inundated with meaningless warnings that a large swathe of the population just up and ignored all the warnings.
