When news commentators and authorities talk about these incidents, they often correlate what happens in society with what is experienced in entertainment. IMO, everyone who thinks there is a correlation should boycott the cause because the entertainment industry will continue to make those products only as long as they generate profits. Most places in the world come with the risk of some kind of natural disasters and the people who live in these areas should be aware of the risks. If you live near a volcano, it may erupt. If you live near a fault line, you may have an earthquake.
Snowy mountains have avalanches.
Wet hills have mudslides. Coastal regions have hurricanes. The plains, especially the northern plains, have blizzards and heavy snowfall. Rivers and creeks flood. The Midwest, and pretty much all areas, may experience tornados.
