The same can be said about Northerners and hurricanes...like Sandy. If Sandy had managed to just turn west a few days earlier and hit along the southern Atlantic coast, it barely would have made the news.
It's all about infrastructure and what local authorities and agencies are prepared to deal with.

Or heat. Yanks start dying up north when the temperatures approach 90.

Truth.
I lived in Connecticut when "Hurricane" Bob hit there. This was the year after Hugo ransacked SC. The Navy base in Groton, CT took all of the subs out to sea and submerged them or either submerged them at the docks, everyone had boarded up windows, businesses closed, stores sold out of everything.
Wind never got above 40 mph, never any thunder and lightening, and just a light steady rain. A typical Southern rainshower. Didn't even qualify as a mild thunderstorm here. I LMAO at them.

Also, people can't take the rail/subway to work like they can in the northeast or Chicago...
Doesn't Atlanta have a decent Marta System? At least that's something...
