Make sure you have a good National Weather Radio. make sure you set the stations for the areas you are traveling in. As soon as I get a weather warning of a hurricane or tornado heading towards my direction/location, I immediately start driving in a direction away from the weather and keep driving until I am out of the area. I do not wait.
I was coming out of Texas near the border Fort Stockton. I pulled into the nearest RV park for cover and protection. In 15 min. the tornado did $16K damage to my truck and trailer. :(:(
I will never drive through Texas again and especially Tornado alley:(
There is no way you can drive E-W without driving thru tornado alley. It stretches all the way up to North Dakota. I've lived in Texas almost 50 years and never had damage from one. Just bad luck that you got hit.
Each region of the country has their own natural disasters to deal with.
