Stay indoors, listen to the radio, take in loose objects that are outside, etc. But remember that even in a tornado watch, the odds that you actually get hit by a tornado are very low.

How can a tornado watch keep you safe during a tornado warning?
A tornado watch is just to tell you that the conditions are right for a tornado to form, but that doesn't necessarily mean that a tornado will form. Basically, It's just to give you a heads-up. If you're on the road, i would try to get to shelter. But, if a tornado warning has been issued, it means that a tornado has been reported or spotted on radar. Then, i would definitely move to your basement or get in a sturdy structure, or at least pull over to the side of the road if there are no buildings in sight.
