Yeah well it saved my life two years ago when we sheltered in place before an F3 went over our head...

Or, the NWS could use different, intuitive language so that people don’t have to read an explanation to understand what is going on
Dude...

How is it confusing? The definitions for each have been out there for decades. A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes to spawn while a Tornado Warning means rotation has been sighted within a severe storm.
ETA: In recent years, the NWS has even been using the informal term "Tornado Emergency" in reference to a confirmed tornado on the ground.

I always remembered it like this...
Tornado Watch: "Watch out for tornados today"
Tornado Warning: "FYI... There's a tornado right behind you"

The fact that this always has to be explained to people demonstrates that people are fricking stupid
