I will be stopping in Hugoton, KS, and then Melvern, KS. We will be traveling on the 50/56 mostly and there was just a big tornado going just past Dodge City, KS.
I am used to monsoons here in AZ. They usually start up in the early evening and don't last more than an hour.
I'm not sure what questions to ask. Just looking for any advice on traveling through tornado country.
best advice? get and use a weather alert radio. we keep ours on 24/7. we do not set it to warn us about severe weather in just the county we're currently in. we prefer to get warnings for nearby counties so we can track the severe weather and be prepared. in addition, when driving and the sky looks bad or there is a realistic threat of severe wx keep your radio tuned to local AM radio for area warnings and updates.
