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.
There is a tornado shelter in the garage of someone in our neighborhood. Haven't seen it.

Tornado warnings get my attention! Actually when it gets cloudy, especially with strange looking clouds, tv goes on. It really doesn't hurt to pay attention to the weather around here....and thunderstorms can cause problems, and are dangerous...glad there are warnings, even if they can be frustrating if the danger isn't close by.
