(scroll down to 'storm on the plains') It does vary by tribe, this is just one I had bookmarked. I researched the topic a few years ago after the Derecho event. Also, these storms are one of the reasons why a lot of north american tribes didn't really nail down agriculture or settlement-building like the Aztecs did. When you plan on a storm deleting your construction once or twice a year, you optimize for something else.

Neat! And because I know there are a ton of coastal US folks here, east-of-Rockies / west-of-Appalachians has storms of a whole different breed. In terms of ferocity and suddenness.

  And multiple subregions too. I grew up in an area with 'lake effect' and currently live in the open plains. The storms on the plains are way more impressive even though they don't last as long. Nothing better than sitting on the porch when a huge system is rolling over.
