- Happened at a campground in southern Colorado we were at several years ago when high winds moved thru. Fortunately the campground told all RVers in a specific part of the campground where there were a lot of similar tall (pine/spruce) trees to move to the other end. Good thinking as several of the trees did fall over. Only casualty was a new Dodge quad cab dually. Tree fell on the roof and smashed it flat.

North of Ottawa?
Yep. We had to pretty nasty storms this past summer around here. We even cancelled a weekend in July last minute to be a little safer in the sticks and bricks when we planned to be a couple of hours away in a KOA. That was a particularly bad weekend of weather all weekend.- I was parked right ON the Mississippi at a CG when the tornado warnings came out. I packed up and headed to the back of the CG. My thought was when it tipped over my coach and toad I wanted to be on solid ground and NOT flipped over and floating down the raging Mississip!
I Ran back and helped an elderly couple next to me get their RV off the banks too when the guy on the other side to me in a Prevost made the comment that it is no big deal and he stayed there........
In the morning trees had hit and damaged the top of his MH but that wasn't his biggest concern to them. Almost dieing was. They said they laid on the floor of their rocking MH when it hit and thought they were going to die. - That is the main reason we do not like camping under trees. We want wide open spaces.
- Makes you wonder how the Class A would have done in a rollover.
- This is one reason why I camp in the desert.
- I like camping in the trees. Something like that is just a risk you have to take. As for tornados, if one get close by the park I most often frequent the local Sheriff drives through the park telling everyone on his PA to get into the toilets because that is the tornado shelter.
- The operative word in that photo is OUCH!!!!
- Sure could use a translator, but then the pics say it all, no matter what language they're in. :(
- I noticed no snow so it can't be very recent. If that was around Ottawa/Montreal it was probably the big wind they had in July.
