Tornadoes while RVing

So we all know the USA gets a lot of twisters. Ever see that movie...Into The Storm? Well if you're in a RV and a tornado hits you get could be injured or even killed. Even from a weak EF0 or EF1. Nevermind the EF4 or EF5 monsters. There was a RV park in Louisiana that was hit by a tornado last year, a few people died. And tornado season is almost upon us. A RV is pretty much no match to any size tornado. It will rip the rig apart like it's nothing. But some areas of the USA get more twisters than other parts. So if you're traveling in tornado prone areas be careful.

I sure am glad Arkansas did not make that list, since we have already had 3 rounds of tornadoes since the first of the year and more forecasted for this coming Friday

Hi,

I was storm stayed by a Tornado in Minnesota (St Cloud area) on 2017 03 07. That was the earliest one on record. Fortunately there was no damage to the RV.

i think everyone who travels by RV...or even by car and stays in motels...should buy, carry and use a weather alert radio. be alert.
