Severe Weather Emergencies.

[JandC]

During the spring time in our area we experienced numerous severe weather warnings, tornado watches, and tornado warnings. Which was normal for our area. We have automatic weather alerts on each of our phones and a police scanner for just such emergencies. During alerts we would have jackets ready for the dash to our truck if the warning sirens would go off. During anticipated tornado producing storms this spring we actually left our Monte prior to any sirens. We have always had a friend's basement located within 4 or 5 miles that we felt we could safely make it to for immediate shelter. After last Sunday (see recent post under "Full Timers") we are reviewing our thoughts on these types of weather emergencies.

What do others do? I know there are some RV Parks and campgrounds that have good concrete block buildings that could offer good shelter. But with an F-4 or F-5 you almost have to be below ground to have a good chance of survival. I still feel comfortable avoiding a tornado in my vehicle as long as I have enough warning and it is daylight hours. But what about an unexpected warning siren in the middle of the night?
