While there are some general things that happen while a tornado is approaching, a storm may not necessarily have these characteristics, as there is a great deal of variability in how a tornadic storm can behave.
Most tornadoes occur in the rear portions of thunderstorms. As a tornado is approaching you will often experience thunder, lightning, and very heavy rain. Hail, potentially very large, may also be present. In many cases before the tornado hits, the rain will stop, and there will be an eerie stillness. The sky may appear gray, black, green, or yellow. You may see the tornado itself, looking, perhaps, like an enormous elephant trunk or cone, or sometimes a whirling mass of dust and debris. The clouds around it may rapidly rotate. Sometimes, however, the rain does not stop, and the tornado is never seen, and then is suddenly upon you. Reports on the sound that people hear near a tornado vary. The classic description says that a tornado has a low roar like a freight train. Others have compared the sound to a jet engine or a waterfall. Still others have said that the sound was indescribable, unlike anything they had ever heard.

What should a person do when they hear a tornado is coming on the radio?
I would sugggest looking out the window constantly to see if you see a tornado. If you see a swirling cloud that looks like a tornado or hear a sound that sounds like a train, either get into your basement (I would suggest this) or, if you don't have a basement, get away from all windows and in the middle of your house. In ALL situations, bend over on the ground and put your hands covering the top of your head. lean your head against the wall. Wait until you think it is safe and wait for a while. Then go doing your normal stuff.
