Why do u. s residents get more advance warning for a hurricane than they do for a tornado

There isn't enough time to evacuate a populated area. The average lead time for a tornado warning is 14 minutes, and and evacuation takes hours and even days. People attempting to flee would be caught in a traffic jam, and a car is one of the worst places to be in a tornado. Such as case happened in Wichita Falls Texas in 1979. Of the 42 people killed by the tornado 25 died in their cars. It is much safer to be inside a sturdy building

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
