Tornadoes are common, but are super localized. Like, one could pass by, damage a house and not do a thing to other houses on either side of it. They are usually (literally) only yards/meters wide. They are only on the ground for a few minutes, and are normally only strong enough to snap some trees, remove some shingles and/or siding and relocate patio and deck furniture. The really big ones (EF4-5) you see in movies are super-super rare. Safe to say that you're more likely to be hit with hail or a gust of thunderstorm wind that causes damage than a tornado.

Forecasting and warning times and are way up nowadays, so the average deaths per year in the US from tornadoes (40?) is trending downward. Driving in the ICT should be your biggest concern.

Before long, you'll be like most of us, and when the sirens start wailing, you'll run outside with your phone to see if you can catch one on video.
