My bucket list includes seeing many natural disasters, phenomena, and wonders in person. Tornado is among them of course

Make sure to secure your pets somewhere safe before you head out to the porch.

When you live in a place with a lot of tornadoes you learn when you need to be scared and when you don't. Tornado watch? Go about your day. Tornado warning? Get in a building, check the news. Sky is turning green? Shit is about to get real. They happen a lot and the vast majority don't do any significant damage. I imagine it's how people near fault zones react to most earthquakes or people in tropical areas react to heavy rain

We had those warnings relatively frequently when I lived in Texas. In school they had taught us to hide in the basement in case of a tornado, but no one actually had basements. So I never saw a tornado, but I did see spinning clouds high in the sky once.
At least in recent times, the news people acknowledge that ain't nobody has a basement, so we are now officially supposed to do what I was planning on doing all along: if we hear the tornado ripping through our neighbors' houses, we're supposed to do the bodyguard style "NOOOOOO" leap, into the bathtub, while holding a bunch of pillows and shit to cover ourselves, so the roof beams don't scrape us quite so much, while we're being crushed to death.
EDIT: also, if I find myself 1,900 feet in the air, but I still have a pillow, I'll stretch out and make like I'm still asleep. Maybe someone will be filming it in 8k resolution and it'll be a hilarious fucking clip on the internet, forever.

Last time there was a tornado warning my wife's entire family was just sending snapchats to one another from their respective front porches. Midwesterners are a different breed.
