I posted before I saw BB_TX's comment--I agree with him, too! Tornadoes are serious business, but probably won't be a problem for you. Just be prepared; have a plan.

I don't know about weather apps, but I don't think a regular weather radio will do you any good while traveling, though, because I think they have to be programmed for specific counties individually.

I want to clarify what I said about wall-to-wall TV weather coverage: For many years now, several TV stations in Alabama have had the policy that they pre-empt regular TV programming when there's a tornado warning issued anywhere in the viewing area--and then they stay on the air without commercial breaks, just tracking the storm, until the tornado warning is cancelled or expires. I think it's that way in other states now, too. And in Alabama, when there's a tornado warning issued, radio stations in that market area will often replace their own regular, radio programming with audio of a TV station's live coverage.
