The best way is to pay attention to weather advisories. If a tornado or rotation that may lead to a tornado is detected, a tornado warning is issued. These are broadcast through TV and radio stations. You can also keep track of all current watches, warnings, and advisories in the United States by going to the Nation Weather Service website (see the link below). Since power outages are common during tornadoes, it is advisible to keep a battery powered NOAA weather radio handy. Some smart phone apps will also alert you to a tornado warning. In some towns in tornado-prone areas sirens will sound in the event of a tornado.
