I would put a guess at about 60%, more drive under garages than full basements. My house and my sister's place are on slabs.
I usually keep an eye on the TV on a night like this. We have really good coverage and they have saved lives in the past. They have gotten really good at tracking the funnels and warning people in the paths in the last few years. If the conditions are right and I hear hail I take cover, if the hail is falling usually something nasty is close.
One hit my middle school when i was in seventh grade. It blew dumpsters and buses around in the parking lot and twisted a set of aluminum bleachers into a spiral. None of the buildings really got damaged.
