Many people do have storm shelters or simple basements to take cover from tornadoes. However, many others don't. One of the main reasons is that it is actually quite expensive to build underground shelter, and beyond the means of some people. Additionally, the chances of any given person being hit by a strong tornado are relatively low, even in a tornado prone area.
