Explanation:

Tornadoes are very dangerous vertical funnels that wipe away everything in their trajectory. If you hear a tornado warning, you should quickly seek for shelter. You need to find a place away from windows and everything that could be destroyed. You should go to a basement or a storm cellar, that is an underground bunker that is designed to protect people (mainly for tornadoes).

Hurricanes or tropical cyclones are rapid rotating storms that have strong winds, big quantities of rainfall and thunderstorms. If you hear a hurricane warning, you should seek shelter and stay indoors during the storm. If the storm is to powerful the NWS (National Weather service) will provide some guidance and instructions for evacuation.
