Our weather radio is programmed for alerts for Sumter County only. For tornado watches, I've never worried about them. When we used to get a tornado warning, I would grab my cat and two dogs, my passport, drinking water, etc., and retreat to our interior laundry room. I'd take a comforter to put over our heads.
