We're in Tampa. Strong winds and lots of rain. We put in the slides and kept the weather radio on. It alerted all night. Here's our rules: For winds over 45mph we put in the slides. If it alerts to a severe thunderstorm warning with gusts over 50mph we evacuate. Even straight line winds can cause major damage. If it's a tornado warning we evacuate. We don't argue and second guess. We just go. We have done so 4x in over 6 years of full timing. Better be safe than sorry. The locations where we had to evacuate were: FL, OH, IL and KS. Another tidbit my son who lives in Oklahoma told us - tornadoes typically travel from the SW toward the NE.
