Average length of a tornado is 10 minutes. Digging out may take longer. In my inner closet I have a shovel and work shoes, gardening gloves and a heavy table that could hold roof collapse to get under. Use it to store items on under normal circumstances. Flashlight, drinking water and charged phone. I have considered installing a small (fridge sized) tornado shelter for a few thousand dollars but my uncle who lived in TV 30 plus years, my parents also in TV 20 plus years never had a tornado problem.
