They're saying to take cover in case the NWS issues a tornado warning or if you see funny looking clouds. Sorry I can't help you more. I understand how tornadoes form in the typical midwestern supercell, but not so much in tropical storms. They’re saying that tornadoes are possible around the center of Hanna.

This wind shear is causing some of the rotations that may cause funnel clouds to form. This is more for informational purposes and advice to be wary of anything that may look like a funnel cloud because if any form they will be brief and not likely show up on doppler radar meaning there would not be an official warning. It is not a warning or a "take cover" announcement as much as a "be advised and use your head" kind of announcement. * No, they are telling you that conditions are causing wind shear, which is a sudden change in wind direction or velocity.
