You new to severe weather? Let me help you to anticipate danger.
When conditions are favorable for tornadoes it begins at sunrise, there will be a lot of moisture in the air, and it will be unusually warm.
Look for green sky. Often times before a tornado forms something in the atmosphere makes the sky turn green. Don't know the science.
If you are observing the tornado and you see it getting larger that means it is headed towards you.
DO NOT RELY ON TORNADO SIRENS FOR WARNING.
Don't attempt to outrun a tornado, you will likely lose that race. I have seen a tornado roll a whole oil rig 4 times in El Reno OK, and it was going 71mph across the ground.
If you insist on watching a tornado make sure you are not putting anyone else in danger, pretty fucking nigger to do that. Also turn your phone sideways, none of that nigger video format.

This is from the London KY tornado.
Notice it is night time, these are the most dangerous because often times they (tornados) are rain wrapped and you cannot see them.
You observe for power flashes, transformers will blow and it has a distinct blue color with a bit of purple.
Other day someone suggested MaxVelocity on YouTube, he is pretty damn good, he also networks with multiple spotters to bring live feeds which are useful.
When you are watching news and they start speaking weather nerd, key phrases are "area of rotation" "feeder band" and many more. Area of rotation means that conditions are favorable a touchdown is imminent.
Feeder band is what the storm draws for fuel.

This is the most extreme example to give, but if you notice the "hook" that is called a "hook echo" tornado will be in that pocket, the part where it goes out on the radar is the "feeder band".
Now the myth that before a tornado you hear a train, I always hear trees snapping myself, and houses breaking apart, but to each their own. Might not even get rain or hail before the tornado too.
Another hazard

This shit! Fist sized chunks of spike ice coming at you near terminal velocity. This was taken Friday night in Mustang OK, abd weather center is saying up to softball size hail today.
I have seen football size in my life once.
