Tornado Safety
Sadly, it appears that several RVers were killed in Louisiana by a tornado while in their RV. What is a safe way to weather a storm? I would think it would be obvious to shelter in a fixed structure ...

Tornado and other storm survival hints:
1: Get a weather/All hazards radio, READ THE MANUAL
2: Take a weather spotter's course.... Even if you do not join a skywarn group the information can save your life.
3: Apps for your phone.. Go to the app store and type in NOAA.. they will duplicate the radio in step 1
The class will tell you to find out where the shelters are if you are in a campground or on the road. And where to take shelter if you should get caught "out and about" (Hint, a ditch is a very bad place to shelter, it can drown you).
Beyond that.. I'll let the class instruct.
