I've heard dozens of tornado sirens and watched people ignore them in the 10+ years I've lived in Minnesota. I've also experienced being caught in the middle of a tornado outbreak (30 in 90 minutes, a couple were over mile wide) while driving across southern Minnesota. We sheltered at a Walmart and were quite alarmed that no locals seemed to take it seriously, even when the roof partially lifted off and cars started getting tossed around in the parking lot. IIRC the State recently switched to more localized warnings (not county wide) due to people ignoring the sirens. I'm also pretty sure that "you can see tornadoes coming" is poor advice, especially since they often come at night or with significant rainfall.
