You can buy a NOAH weather alert radio at Walmart. It has a loud alarm that you can hear thru your entire house. It alerts you however you set it up - severe storms, tornedos, floods, etc. You are correct that we have no tornedo sirens here. I was here for the Ground Hogs Day tornedo on Feb. 2, 2007. We were surprised to learn we did not have warning sirens. It went right over our house (no damage). It does sound like a freight train!!! Pretty frightening.
