Unfortunately there is little you can do to an existing house to protect it from tornadoes. You can install hurricane ties in the roof connections, which will make it harder for a tornado to remove the roof. You can also install wind-resistant glass in the Windows, which may withstand winds of up to 160 miles per hour.
If you do not have a basement then you may want to consider getting an above ground tornado shelter. The shelter will not protect your home but it will provide a safe place for you. Some of these shelters can withstand winds in excess of 300 miles per hour.
