What is worst a tornado watch or warning?
"Worse" is not the word, let's say "more important": Tornado warning is more important. A tornado "watch" means weather conditions are such that there is a possibility a tornado could form. But there have been no tornadoes as of yet. A Tornado warning means A tornado has been spotted/touched down in your alert area. You should take cover if a tornado warning is issued for your area; go into a cellar, or the lowest, most inner part of your house where there are no windows (a downstairs or basement bathroom is ideal). Tornado watch? Merely continue to monitor the weather broadcasts.
