Since we live in the southern end of tornado alley, we are well aware of how violent the storms can be. The first thing I do when arriving at an RV park or campground is find out if there is a designated storm shelter. Some in storm prone areas do have them. If not, I look to see where the nearest sturdiest building is located. This is often a concrete/cinder block restroom or shower building. If there is no other option, I find out where the nearest big box store such as Walmart, Home Depot, or similar is located as they typically have designated "safe" areas for their employees and customers. With storms in the area we monitor the TV and radar apps on our phones so we know what to expect. Staying in the RV with a severe storm approaching is the last thing to do. In a car or truck is very little better but with advance warning, at least you may be able to move out of the path to a better area.
