Cyclones of all types typically bring cloudiness and some form of precipitation, usually rain. Though, in meteorology "cyclone" is a very general term that can apply to both severe and non-severe weather systems.
Tornadoes are produced by strong thunderstorms and are often preceded by heavy rain and sometimes hail. The clouds in a tornadic storm are often greenish, though that is more indicative of hail than a tornado.
If you see a persistent lowering of the cloud base, especially one that is visibly rotating (this is called a wall cloud) a tornado may form soon.
In addition to warning signs you can see for yourself, be sure to check local weather updates through TV, radio, or through NOAA for advisories.

Did they have any notice about the Oklahoma tornado?
That would depend on which Oklahoma tornado you are asking about. Oklahoma has had thousands of recorded tornadoes. If the tornado was one that occurred any time in the past 30 years or so, then the answer is almost certainly yes. If the tornado occurred before the 1960s then there probably was no warning.
