What do you do when a tornado is in the area?

My husband and I are curious what people do when the tornado sirens go off. Do you get your chickens inside with the rest of your pets? I'm going to make them diapers for occasional house visits, but I was really wondering what others here did...

I put my dogs in airline crates. Chickens & turkeys are put in their covered runs. That's about all I can do.

Sorry, they are on their own, I'm taking my dogs and going in the basement, not sure if I would grab the parrot.

Me and my chickens are just going where ever the wind blows us. <sigh> We live in an old 1976 single wide mobile home here, and there is no tornado shelter for us to go to. Of course, we only get one tornado every 50 years, and we had ours in 2014, so I'm good. Chickens would go into the coop with the doors battened down and that's the best I can do for them. If it gets too bad, then we all sail together.
