Yeah, that's what we usually do, too. We did actually have some tornadoes touch down to the east and south of us, though.
When we had an F-4 go through my area in 2004, I was away at school. My family apparently was all standing outside watching the storm come in, as one does, when a neighbor pointed up to the sky and exclaimed, "Is that a tornado?!" I think everyone who lives in an area prone to whatever type of severe weather ends up getting jaded about it.
My rant is about our local news, which treats every single individual storm cell as a possible source of doom. They really don't help anything - the sirens actually tend to be a good indicator of when it's at least a good idea to know where shelter is.
