If a tornado hits your home should nobody care about you(in practical terms) because you chose to live in an area prone to tornadoes?

In the 80s, tornados tore up Balch Springs, Texas. President Reagan refused to give tax payer's money to fix their houses.

He extended low interest rate loans for rebuilding, which is the equivalent of a subsidy. That is a standard offering for any declaration of a disaster area.
