[Dave Kline]

Alert causing a proper response?
Never happen in people. We allow our higher brain functions (such as they are) to get in the way.
Pavlov's Dogs were acting on a base instinct for food.

What instinct is triggered by a tornado warning in Heartland?
Everyone goes outside to try to see the tornado.
