If it's at night, that can be a bit unnerving. The local radio is very good at reporting. Our county has a bunch of storm trackers. They give classes 2x a year for normal folks as well.
I will take a tornado over a hurricane. There atre pro's and con's to both. Hurricanes don't surprise you. They are huge. I guess the only hope is that they lose power or that the brunt is a few miles away? Tornados can hop and skip. The chance of getting whacked is similar as to shark bites in the sea. Or as the Artillery Man would say "big sky, little bullet".
The biggest scare would be an F-5 tornado bearing down on your town at night.

I disagree. You never know where a tornado is. Coming down wherever and turning who knows which way. You could be asleep and it's too late to get out.
It's been 4000+ days since a hurricane has hit land in the USA. You get days of warning and they can predict pretty accurately where it's going ashore and clear out.
