Re: Tornadoes while RVing
Tornado hits RV Park. And this didn't happen in Tornado Alley, it happened in Washington state. http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/video-vault/Tornado-Hits-RV-Park_Dallas-Fort-Worth-417804523.html http://www.nbcrightnow.com/story/35035945/ef0-tornado-topples-rvs-in-monroe708Views0likes0CommentsMost RV friendly Cities and States
What cities and states do you think are the most RV friendly? Watching this video - https://youtu.be/4X9dN7W7OWI - made me think of the idea for this thread. If I would have to guess I would say Arizona and inland Southern California is pretty darn friendly to RVers. Alaska probably too. As for cities I would say Venice Beach, California. And Vancouver, Canada.7KViews0likes49CommentsRe: Tornadoes while RVing

Or google the March 2012 Henryville, Indiana twister. That was an EF4 that killed 11. Several mobile trailers were destroyed by that one.404Views0likes0CommentsTornadoes 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. STATES WITH THE MOST TORNADOES - Florida - Oklahoma - Kansas - Mississippi - Iowa - Louisiana - Illinois - Alabama - Indiana - Maryland STATES WITH THE LEAST TORNADOES - Alaska - Nevada - Oregon - Utah - Washington - Arizona - Idaho - California - Montana - Maine What do you think?7.8KViews0likes47Comments
