The Army had assumed that the American people would regard a nuclear accident no differently from an act of God. An AFSWP study questioned the assumption, warning that the “psychological impact of a nuclear detonation might well be disastrous” and that “there will likely be a tendency to blame the ‘irresponsible’ military and scientists.”
Yeah... I think that people tend to view towns being vaporized as something different than a tornado.
To be fair, if the Army was able to create a working Weather Dominator, they could change this, by creating man-made tornados, earthquakes and hurricanes and then terrifying everyone with those too.
