True grit?

I've been living in Tornado Alley (Kansas) for almost 5 years now and had no issues, and many people I've met are the same.  It does happen, but to me it seems to be less widespread than the media wants us to believe.  Tornadoes do happen, and when they do it's awful for those affected, but it's not like living in the midwest is signing a death warrant.
