There are three possibilities. First is the tornadic thunderstorm may not have reached you yet, as tornado warnings are sometimes elongated along the storm's projected path. Second, you may be under a low precipitation supercell, which is a potentially tornadic storm that produces little or no rain. Third, you may be under the updraft part of the thunderstorm, which is often rain free and sometimes relatively calm. This is also the part of the storm where a tornado is most likely to form.
There is no particular sky color that indicates a tornado is coming. It is often reported that the clouds look green before and during tornado. But this does not necessarily indicate a tornado, nor is it necessary for a tornado to form. The clouds in a tornadic storm may also appear gray or black.
A yellowish sky can indicate severe weather conditions, which may include the possibility of a tornado. It's important to pay attention to other warning signs, such as darkening skies, strong winds, and hail, and seek shelter immediately if you suspect a tornado is approaching.
The typical temperature during a tornado can vary, depending on the temperature of the air inside the tornado. There have been temperatures recorded as low as 50 degrees and as high as 103 degrees.
The bathroom is typically considered a safer place during a tornado due to its location in the middle of the house with no windows, which reduces the risk of flying debris. Bathrooms often have sturdy plumbing that can provide extra structural support in case of a tornado. It is recommended to take shelter in a small windowless room on the lowest level of the house during a tornado.
Contrary to what some might say, there is no particular "tornado sky" that will give you a warning. Tornadoes occur during severe thunderstorms and so will be accompanied by thick, often dark clouds. Heavy rain is often present The clouds often appear gray, as they usually do during a thunderstorm, but may become black, green, yellow, or blue. Such colors often indicate that a thunderstorm may be severe but do not necessarily mean there is potential for tornadoes. One sign that is a potential warning is a wall cloud, which is a rotating mass of cloud that hangs down from the base of the thunderstorm. This however is not always present or may be hidden by rain.
Tornado sirens go off when a tornado warning is issued and during their monthly test.

Yes, tornadoes can occur during heavy rain. These types of tornadoes are known as "rain-wrapped," where the tornado is obscured by the rain and can be harder to see or detect. It is important to stay alert and take cover during severe weather conditions, even if it is raining.
You should not be in a mobile home if there is a tornado coming. Mobile homes are very susceptible to tornado damage and should be abandoned for sturdier shelter during a tornado warning.
You can go in a place without glass like windows
During a tornado watch you should stay alert. Pay attention to broadcasts and advisories for if a tornado warning is issued, especially if there is a thunderstorm in your area. A tornado watch means that conditions are favorable for tornadoes to form, but the threat is not immediate. A tornado warning means that a tornado has been spotted or detected, or there is an immediate threat of one forming.
No. If a tornado warning is issued, you should take cover as quickly as possible. Since tornadoes are usually preceded by rain, there is a good chance you will have closed your windows anyway.
A tornado warned storm is a thunderstorm for which a tornado warning has been issued, indicating that it is capable of producing a tornado. A tornado threat is a general term that refers to the danger tornadoes may pose to an area during a particular storm.
Most likely yes. Though the game may be canceled if a tornado warning or other severe weather warning is issued. A game may also be canceled due to rain, even if the storm is not severe.
It tells people to be on the lookout for tornadoes and to prepare to take shelter if a tornado warning is issued.
In developed nations such as the U.S. yes. Tornado warnings are broadcast through television, radio, the internet, and some smartphone apps. In some towns sirens will sound during a tornado warning.
