This is not a campground story, but one evening I was parked at the Walmart in Guymon, OK when a terrible storm approached. The straight line winds from the approaching storm were extremely strong. Strong enough that shopping carts were traveling all over the parking lot. I worried that a cart could damage my MH. Besides, I could feel the winds trying to overturn my RV. They must have been hurricane force, IMO. In desperation, I knew I had to get out and do something. I noticed a large building across the street. It appeared to be a car/truck wash with very large bays. I parked my MH in one of the bays, hoping I wouldn’t be bothered during the night. It was a good move. I spent a relatively peaceful night (any port in a storm, as the saying goes). :)
My other scary encounter with wind was while driving my Lazy Daze Class C motorhome to Palm springs some years ago. One gust was so strong that I actually felt the drivers side tires lift off the pavement momentarily. Needless to say, I went the rest of the way very carefully and slower and eventually reached my destination.
