You raise an interesting point.

People are now facing weather events & other issues related to #ClimateChange altering their lives, which they're not accustomed to.

I'm reminded of a scene in #ManOfSteel (the #Superman movie with #HenryCavill), where the "Kansas" family runs under a viaduct to stay safe from a #tornado.

As an #Illinois gal who has lived her whole life in #TornadoAlley, I wanted to yell at the screen when I saw it.

For God's sake--NEVER run under a viaduct to avoid a tornado! That becomes a wind tunnel, and the winds are MORE powerful there than in the open. If you're on the open road & don't feel safe in your car, you're supposed to lay down in a nearby ditch.

#Weather reports for #SevereWeather in areas which do not tend to experience that kind of event, should be instructing viewers how to stay safe. And we should be teaching children a wider variety of #WeatherSafety ideas.
