One more, pretty sad, reason that extremely hot and extremely cold weather don't get that much attention that (at least my assumption) it mainly kills the poor, whereas hurricanes and tornadoes do not "discriminate" based on income to that extent.
If you and your family are well off, you can be reasonably sure that hot or cold weather will not affect you so dramatically.
