The tornado warnings may be new to those from certain areas of the country but we from the midwest had them our whole lives. We keep a wary eye and ear on the weather but we probably don't get QUITE as worried as the folks who haven't had those warnings for years.

I hope you get used to it and you won't worry so much.

There will be far more warnings than tornadoes.

Your plants are used to the water. The mulch can be replaced. Try not to worry.
Everyone be safe! I agree with Gracie. We have watches and warnings in the ATL area not all that infrequently. Tornadoes are much rarer than the watches!

Remember too that a warning means that a tornado has been spotted in the area, while a watch-- as Happinow reported-- just means that conditions are conducive to the possible spawning of a tornado.
