I grew up in Southwest Iowa. Only thing that will wake me up most months is the monthly tornado test. and it's more of a "Do I have to duck and cover? Or is it just a test of the systems?" thing for me. Last time I heard the sirens outside of a test, I was already in the basement, and had captured the cats (at the time, we just had the cats) and boxed them up. Turns out the tornado hit the next town over, and damaged or destroyed a barn (Can't remember now, even though it was just a year and a few months ago).
Worst wind storm I can recall ripped the roof off the middle school when I was in 5th grade. then one year, we had a storm that had a tornado hit a mile from town, and I thought it was a mile from where I was, so I was freaking out with worry for my mom... everyone was okay.
Tornadoes and wind storms scared me more as a kid than they do now. It's just part of growing up near the middle of Tornado Alley. You learn how to deal, or you move somewhere else.
I use She/Her and They/Them pronouns.
