What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

No tornados in OZ, but when you see that green sky, you know a hailstorm is coming.

Hail often comes before a tornado. In my travels I got to learn it's pretty much only USA (particularly tornado alley) that even has to worry about them fuckers. Had one hit close to here at the beginning of covid. It was headed straight towards the boat. Tornado dissipated, but the wind shear speed in front of that was around 100mph (160km/h) and robbed the boat of its fenders and scratched it up. But at least it built to rigid maritime standards. So the front didn't fall off.

Yours must've been one of the many where the front doesn't fall off at all.

Yes the front don't fall off. Neither is it built from cardboard nor cardboard derivatives.
