We have lived through various meteorological phenomenons throughout our military moves, but I do find tornadoes more horrific as compared to blizzards or hurricanes. Blizzards and hurricanes are forecasted and one can prepare ahead of time as witnessed by the lines in the supermarkets and home centers. Even though tornadoes are concentrated in the Alley, we have been very close to touchdowns in West Point, NY in 98, greater DC several times, KY (several times) and of course KS.
I don't think BRM means funny as in humorous but more as a fact of overreacting. I know that I have witnessed the same media and public panic when dealing with winter storm warnings anywhere below the Mason-Dixon line. I must confess Hurricane Isabelle threw me for a loop. GEN Alum was at NATO so the kids and I had to prep the house and property on our own. As a good military family, we managed.
