Here's there's no reason to bitch unless it's extreme. Extreme being bad weather in your own neighborhood. I live in a city bigger than Luxembourg an weather on one side of town can be totally different than the other. Other day it was 108F. Hottest so far this year, but it's been 120 a few years back. Wind Chill has been -50F before. Have some serious flooding in the past. And of course tornadoes up to F5. Temperatures have dropped 40 degrees in a matter of minutes. Rain can make it go from 100 to 60 or a winter storm of 60 to 20. Hunters have been found frozen to death wearing shirt sleeves and a winter storm hit too fast.

We're just used to this that unless something hits your house or neighborhood it's no big deal. Parts of the city have been almost wiped out by flooding. There are houses in my neighborhood that still only have the basement walls where a F5 tornado in 2004 ripped through. That tornado was 1/2 mile wide and was on the ground for 20 miles.

Then again, it could be it takes a lot for us to bitch. Actors from the days of vaudeville knew Kansas City was the toughest town to play. There's some old quote about farmers seeing dust storms, prairie fires, floods and tornadoes weren't easily impressed. That's why W C Fields insulted KC in the film International House. "I'm not lost. Kansas City is lost."
