It's interesting being from Minnesota and going to the University of Minnesota, since all over the state, on the first Wednesday of the month at 1pm, they test the tornado sirens. Which, having grown up with them my whole life, I just glance at the time/think of the day and shrug. There are many students at said University without said experience/knowledge. And while at first it was amusing to see who had experience with it and who didn't, I then realized how freaky that must be for some.

what exactly is one supposed to do when a tornado bears down on the town
Go to the innermost ground floor room of the building, with no windows, to avoid getting pulled into the air if the roof is lifted off, or impaled by a high-velocity 2x4 ripped from a nearby building.
One day I’ll get to build my own apartment complex and add a concrete emergency bunker, but that day has not yet come.
