We can think inside the Box.

Conduct an internet search for concrete or prefab concrete vaults/structures for tornado protection. If you could obtain one of a proper size, it might also double as a storage shed and a safe room.

Cost, size and availability are unknowns until you have done some research. We all know ditches or low spots are shelters of last resort. The wooded nature of most places here would reduce its effectiveness. You might end speared by falling trees and/or large limbs. Depending on the strike points of the funnel, you could just end up speared and transplanted to Kansas where there is a shortage of trees.
