This is a very good question and one with numerous answers. A year ago last Spring we were in a severe storm while in Indy. As we looked outside the trees were bent over and the Ole Monty was a rockin' and a rollin' (well, not yet rollin'). Anyhow, scary stuff. Someone said "prayer" and that may be the "go-to-advice" for me.
BTW, an RV park in Oklahoma City does not allow pets in their storm shelter
