I think a Weather Radio is essential.
When we first purchased in TV, I used to panic at Tornado Watches, but then I got used to them. Now I react immediately to a Tornado Warning. I head for the laundry room with my dogs and cat in tow. I have an "emergency kit" stashed in the laundry at all times ... bottled water, flashlight, emergency papers, etc.
As DillyWho said, when they say take cover, they mean it. If nothing happens, say a thank-you prayer.
