Wife and I will being staying in Wichita Kansas in May. We are concerned about tornados. Are we overreacting ? Any advice would be appreciated.

be aware, but not overly concerned.
as stated, know where the campground shelter is and if the weather looks threatening, tune in to the local news station where it will no doubt be giving you frequent weather updates.
note: a "tornado watch" means weather can/might produce a tornado, hail, high winds, etc.
"tornado warning" means there is a tornado and you should take cover if you are in the projected path of a tornado.
finally, if you are parked under or very close to a big tree, you might want to move your rig as far away as you can to avoid tree damage. but this is only if it is really convenient to do so. otherwise, let your insurance do what you pay for.
