We live in west central Illinois and tornadoes are a threat. But, to me weather is just a part of traveling with an RV and I don't let it influence our travel except for snow and ice and severe cold in winter. Really there are all sorts of bad things that can happen to threaten life and limb. I nearly had a falling limb hit me on a perfectly clear day and wasn't even RVing. My point is that these things happen rather randomly and aren't avoidable beyond reasonable caution. Yes, tornadoes are more likely in some places but still the probability of being hit by one is really small; much less probable than a traffic accident and many other catastrophes. But you have to decide.
This. Get a weather app for your phone and check for ugly radar and tornado warnings. Stay put if there are warnings in your path.
