No one said they are a fucking regular occurrence you fucking twit - but why are you so fucking disturbed that they provide ways to teach people how to prepare for things that happen every 10 years or so?

Do you mock those that buy flood insurance too?

Oh, so now I'm "so fucking disturbed?"

I think it's stupid to warn people in Portland, OR about tornadoes. Because tornadoes happen a scant few times a century there. That's the totality of it. I'm not anti weather service all of the sudden I just think like most things associated with media and government they are alarmist, sensationalistic and sometimes flat out full of shit. Just report the fucking weather and be done with it don't turn it into a soap opera or an episode of Captain Planet.

Kind of depends where they live. Catch my drift yet?

You are bitching about something that is on the entire site nationwide in the middle of tornado season you twit - they don't waste money on having hundreds of regional content managers.

Further - it is a good idea for people to know what the fucking do even if it is rare - ESPECIALLY in places where it is rare. Odds are people in the midwest and mid-atlantic already know what to do but again - WHAT IS THE FUCKING HARM in sharing the same advice everywhere? There is no location in the US that doesn't run a risk of being hit by a tornado or straight line wind (which kill as many) event.

You're just like the fucking SJWs pissed off at the phrase "Safe Space" even though NOAA has used that terminology for disaster preparedness training since the 19 fucking 70s to describe a place in your home or workplace that you are best protected from flying debris in the event of destructive winds.

The harm is that the message either falls on deaf ears or reaches the wrong person. The facts are that tornadoes occur in some places and they really don't occur in other places. If you want to warn people about tornadoes it would make the most sense to do so in places where tornadoes actually happen and not in places where they don't happen.

Here's a map where tornadoes occur:

Here's a chart showing tornado deaths per year:
