Either you take shelter when a tornado warning is issued ...

I suggest you try to listen to it all. It starts off a bit slow, then gets real interesting about half way through. It really...
Tornado Warning Experiment - Stormtrack
Jan 23, 2013 · ICT issued two "tornado emergency" warnings and both busted (there was zero damage in Conway Springs, Wichita experienced F-1 damage after the TE was issued). We do not have the scientific skill to do this. Compounding the problem is the ridiculous length of recent tornado warning messages.
