Well, first
Its really loud.
I have a SEVERE thunderstorm warning on my TV.
For my area.
Who gives a forget? All it's going to do is blow litter across the road and drop little stones of ice from the sky. I live in Arizona, and I get these all the time in the summer.
You don't really have to worry about it. Even if there was a tornado warning for your area, you still wouldn't have to worry much - only about 3/10 of all warnings are true tornadoes. The people at the National Weather Service are also seemingly-undertrained richards. There was a huge flood in my town back in 2002 and they didn't even give us any warning or anything. I was in Minnesota in 2003 and a funnel cloud passed over our camper and there was not even a severe thunderstorm warning for hell's sake. XD
Here's one that happened to my area (Kingman, Arizona) back on the 3rd of July. I was on the road at the time a few thousand miles away, but even when our friends called us they said nothing happened. Just goes to show. Copy it into Notepad if you want to see it because I didn't want to take up space with it :P
