I'm sitting here, just outside of Boston, eating dinner, and watching the Weather Channel.....it's a relatively nice day!
I'm watching what is left of Moore, OK, and the surrounding area, where it WASN'T a nice day today:(
The place is leveled...and the Tornado was probably going to be classified as an EF-5 (the most powerful storm, with 200+ mph winds), and from the video they are showing, it looks like it!
Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those people (RVers or not) who live in that area. And hoping that these storms dissipate, before any more damage or lose of life can occur.
We have our Hurricanes down in NC (I live right on the coast), but at least we have some notice as to what is coming, and can generally get away if we feel strong enough about the size of it. These Twisters in OK, well, they just drop down and destroy the place, with only moments to realize it.All the best to all of you.
I'm from the Midwest and yes they are to be feared and damage is always extensive.
Thank God over the years new forecasting equipment sometimes can give us 10 or 15 minutes notice. Sadly that doesn't help at night when everyone is sleeping.
Tornadoes hit 2 of the homes I owned and one touched down in a CG I was at. I'll take hurricane states any day over tornado states. At least you have several days warning to prepare or evacuate.
I pray that the people in the path of this storm will have taken heed from this weather forecast and have prepared to take cover quickly and safely and we don't have to read of any more weather related fatalities.
