If we get a tornado watch, I just secure everything that would blow around (like patio furniture). I usually put bottled water and the cat crate in the walk-in closet. Then I go back to bed and hope for the best.

Thanks for the tip, Bare!
I'll get an emergency pack together and keep it in the closet. We always had an emergency pack for earthquakes in Utah, and all the schools had earthquake drills and classroom emergency supplies. I guess I was too complacent, because I thought I'd have plenty of time if I got a warning from the weather radio. (No warnings with earthquakes, and they always talked about how we were "due" for "the big one"!) This shouldn't be any different.
Thanks again!
