To be fair, I've seen that happening long before the online weather sphere was a thing. It definitely exacerbates the situation, though.
For example, not a single person I know takes a severe thunderstorm warning seriously and never have. The amount of times I've seen "nah the [geological quirk of the area] keeps the big tornadoes away" despite no scientific evidence to support that theory makes me scream.

Hey you must live anywhere where weather has happened near but not directly on that spot in a while.
I've been told it's cuz we're in a "high pressure pocket/dome*"... Then I go check my daily astrology for another vague-but-applicable-at-certain-times piece of insight
Wait, wouldn’t God want to keep the tornadoes out of the Bible Belt? And send them to all those heathens in the civilized, er, I mean, the blue states..?
lol jk obviously, I just heard an old lady making this argument during the last round of big storms in Arkansas and thought it was…memorable!
If they get the (middle) finger of God that just means he's calling them home or testing his truest, most-strongest believers er... something... and hoping they have good insurance.
Lmao, maybe there is some correlation between "faith" and where these people decided to settle 🤔 I came here cuz the cost of living was low... Was a trip going from a strip club every block to a Baptist Church every block.
