Does the EAS (Emergency Alert System) creep you out?

in florida, over the years, i've heard a million tornado warnings and all that on tv/radio

but i spent a good 20 years there and never personally saw one, i think they were mostly wimpy and sporadic

so i really never took tornadoes all that serious

but if i lived in the midwest, i would for sure. but that always makes me wonder why people live in places like kansas. i know people say "well you have to deal with some kind of storm anywhere," which is true, but it seems like tornadoes are so random and narrowly yet viciously destructive that in order for me to live in tornado territory there'd have to be a pretty compelling incentive drawing me there... and i just don't get that from the midwest in all honesty... except for possibly the more wealthy parts of chicago. but i don't think they spend that much time worrying about tornadoes.
