Wife and I will being staying in Wichita Kansas in May. We are concerned about tornados. Are we overreacting ? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm afraid that some folks were 'blindly' driving through a big rainstorm (not 'fleeing') and suddenly hell broke loose on them.
In the case of the Hudsonville-to-Lakeview Michigan F-5 tornado, it was "dry" and people saw it coming from a long ways away - they KNEW what they were trying to drive away from. But when you're in a semi-populated area, traffic and road situations can leave you a sitting duck in the path of destruction.
Granted, if you're already driving down the road, hear a warning, and determine that the big black cloud up ahead *might* be a tornado - then yes, by all means, verify where it's headed, then go the other way! But to think that you can see a tornado; get your RV ready quickly and then outrun it, is far too dangerous, IMO.
