There are "tornado shelters" you can buy. If you go to Crystal River, there is one on display by the store. Basically, it looks just like a septic tank. I guess you would either have it in your back yard or in the garage and go in through a hatch when a tornado warning comes. You would be safe as I do not think an indirect hit by a tornado would budge a septic tank. A direct hit - I don't know.
Of course, it might be hard to convince The Villages to allow an above ground septic tank in your back yard - much less than convincing neighbors not to complain.
