If you are at home and hear an air raid siren, turn off all appliances, shut off the gas supply, and extinguish any open flames. Leave the premises quickly and go to the nearest protective structure or shelter by the shortest route. Do not use the elevator, and instead take the stairs. If there are no protective structures near the house, choose the safest place in the apartment, such as a corridor or bathroom, and stay away from windows. If you are outside when you hear the sirens, go quickly to the nearest shelter, such as an underpass, metro station, parking lot, or bomb shelter. Avoid buildings of strategic importance or critical infrastructure. To stay informed, install the Air Alert app to receive notifications of air alerts in the selected city or region of Ukraine from the civil defense system.
@TheOldGuy Born & raised in St. Louis, living in OKC. I agree with 99% of your weather related advice. Have lived through 2 major tornadoes in Oklahoma.
The 1% I disagree with is seeking shelter in an underpass. As a tornado approaches an underpass, it will create a wind tunnel effect. The result is that the wind in the underpass will be stronger than the wind above it or on the ground.

I don't think they are at all worried about tornadoes. They are worried about missiles fired by the Russians.
