You can deal with tornadoes almost anywhere east of the Rockies. Own a good weather radio; know what county you're in, since most warnings go by counties. If you can get on your computer - check the radar on websites like NOAA, The Weather Channel; or one of my favorites, Intellicast.com whose radar also shows storm paths and whether the storm contains hail (it will also show "rotation" - but don't freak out since most storms have rotation: hail will show how much of an updraft the storm has).
And *IF* a storm is headed your way - get out of the RV - they are the most unsafe place of all. Head for the bathrooms or anything with as little glass and stout walls as possible. Laying in a ditch is safer than your RV....
