I've recently discovered another reason storm doors are essential.

We had a bigger kitchen put on the back of the house this summer, and
they installed the regular door but didn't bother with the storm door
right away.  Well, at night time, the door gets covered with bugs. 
Then, since the regular door swings inward, every time we'd open it
we'd be pulling dozens of bugs into our kitchen, and they'd hop off
and start flying around!  Storm doors swing outward, so when you open
them, the bugs all stay outside, and meanwhile the other door is bug-free.
