I have been in numerous CG's during tornado warnings and one barreling down on the CG. I MOVE MY RV to safer ground. As does everyone. Never had anyone say anything. It's a safety issue.
The CG host was all WRONG on this one. When all is quieted down and you are safe I would definitely report this CG host to the owner before someone gets hurt or killed. They obviously have not been instructed on how to handle severe weather issues regarding RV's in a CG.
It wasn't just the tornado, it was the high winds and large trees that worried me. We left the next day. Moved from their coveted "day use" area (as instructed) that night and went back under the large pines. Wind had calmed down a bit by then. Branches down everywhere but no large trees fell. We packed up the next morning and moved on. Went through GA on 75 and saw where the pines were all blown down along part of the interstate. Still drove through 25 MPH winds but the "CHF" worked wonders on my F53.
We were in a state park in Florida. I may call the state park office sometime this week but we're gone and not going back again. Probably will avoid Florida altogether. We ride motorcycles and the roads sucked for riding. Felt like we were riding on one of those little motorcycles you let your kid ride on at the grocery store. You just sit there. I think I'd rather bundle up and ride in the cold in Tennessee. We were going to stay until Friday but we're kind of over it. In a couple of months the Blue Ridge Parkway will warm up and we'll enjoy that. They have their RULES. Common sense lacking in Florida state parks.
I'd think moving away from large pine trees in high winds would seem prudent but I guess they disagree. I wish them the best of luck with that.
