Being from Galveston I have no snow experience.  My first business trip out of college was to Scottsbluff Nebraska and it was snowing.  I was driving a rental car and doing ok until the wind starting blowing snow across the highway.  I couldnt tell where the road was.  I had to sit there until a local came by who obviously knew the roads.

I was able to follow him into town.  All during this I kept asking why would anyone live here, this is ridiculous.

In 1980, early spring, I was visiting potential grad schools, one was Princeton, the other UNC.  At Princeton there was skiffs of snow on the ground, students were huddled against the grey windy weather, and it was gloomy.  At UNC, coeds were out in shorts basking in the sun, it was a bright sunny day in the 60s.
My brother and an old administrator I worked with both moved backed to PA/Ohio as the summers were miserable they said

Tornadoes are probably my worst fear, lightning comes in second I suppose.

hurricanes bring their own tornadoes which often does more damage to a town then the hurricane

A hurricane announces itself ahead of time, one can leave, or not live in the area.  A tornado can sprout from almost nothing.

The US has 90% of the tornadoes in the entire planet.

Indeed, though I'm not sure this isn't meant to offset the hopelessness other articles have conveyed, and it does depend on every country hitting its commitments (which is basically not going to happen, at all).

Wind sucks,not as much as cancer but pretty bad.

Love seeing the giant gates at the on ramps of i-80, 76, 25, etc.  Specifically for the drifting snow.   A one to three inch snowfall can become worse than any 20 jnch storm I've experienced with the simple ingredient of wind.  Wind on the plains is relentless. 

I respect the hell out of severe weather and tornado warnings.   You can't pin point them very well and given warnings can be sudden.  Definitely better than it used to be but i dutifully head to basment wo hesitation.  I've seen two in NE Heard another at night in WI.  Terrifying. 

Ice storms on the other hand.  Screw that.. mid south, mid Atlantic is SOL in those situations.
