Because tornadoes tend to go hand in hand with thunderstorms and hurricanes, I don't like them, either. So far, I haven't found a way to cope.

I've thought about getting a weighted blanket, since those seem to help calm dogs when they are anxious, but I'm not usually in a place or situation where I could just whip out my blanket when dark clouds are approaching, so I haven't tried that.
I'm glad that I am not the only one who is suffering from this
