Yes, there is no need to panic. Just make sure your team knows that it is better to be inside, away from windows, interior room, lowest floor if there is a severe thunderstorm or tornado warning.

Chances are you won't have to use that knowledge, but you want to be prepared in the event that you do.
If you are concerned about hail, bring a tarp in the event your windows get hailed on and smashed through. Place electronics you dont carry in (not advised, leave them at home or on your person) and make sure its about as waterproof as you can get. Saw a lot of broken windshields coming out of 2012, and q lot of water damage.
