It is sometimes hard to take the whole tornado watch/warning thing seriously. On several occasions, I've gathered my animals and huddled in the closet with pillows and flash light and water bottles. And everything has been fine.
Still, my mom always said "better safe than sorry". So I'll continue to be mindful of my weather radio warnings.

I commend you for having a well thought out plan. However, before you rush to your hidey hole you might want to watch one of the Orlando tv stations after you get the warning. They do an excellant job of tracking the storm cells that caused the tornado warning.
An example was the recent warning that started for central Sumter county...alarming if that was all you knew. The tv stations had the storm cell pinpointed for south of Bushnell and on a track well south of TV and no further storms in the area. That information will allow one to stop worrying....for at least that night.
