State Park destruction in Michigan's UP
Thank goodness no one was hurt, but this looks bad. It got me thinking, What plans do you have for violent storms while camping? http://www.uppermichiganssource.com/content/news/Storm-damage-clean...

Those in tornado areas go through precautions constantly.
For travelers, first thing is to know what county you're in. Then monitor your weather radio (you do carry one, don't you?).
If your county is mentioned, head for the bathhouse/restroom. They are built of concrete block usually. In a campground that's your best refuge.
Never stay in your RV. They're like matchsticks.
When we stayed in Alabama state parks during weather warnings, the rangers would knock on each door alerting us and asking us to get to the restroom.
Once there we found many others - men, women and children and pets in the same restroom. :) If you go through this enough you know to have things ready at your RV. You grab a folding chair, weather radio, perhaps snacks, a deck of cards and you have an instant get-together. It lightens up the concerns.
