I am from KC and while it can be scary for people who are not familiar, there have inly been a couple times in my life where a tornado has touched down inside the city. your best bet is to pull up a weather site and look at the warning boxes, then get out of the warning area if you can.
I use weather.gov because it’s ad free and has all the info if you know how to use it. Clicking the map (your location) on the home page takes you to the local weather center page for the area you clicked, then click the map again for your location and it will give more detailed info for that exact location. Area warnings and watches will appear at the top.
But if you’re out in the middle of Kansas there won’t be good shelters. Your best bet is to keep yourself safe by finding a store or something to hunker down in until the storm passes. And take a backpack filled with the essentials when you leave your car.
