Myrtle Beach mini tornado? We were gone but knew storms were forecast and brought in awning and slides. People across from us had awning ripped off and wrapped around coach as did many more similarily. Toys bikes, and grills and everything else all over the place including in the ocean.

In Indiana there was a tornado warning. Factory told everyone to leave and go to school a few miles away until storm passed.

Those campground are bad for that. Seen this happen MANY times at Pirate Land and Lakewood where the wind drafts up by the stream thing in between the two.
