A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

Wow, what a night! Tuesday that is. After we, Casey and I, parked, the winds arrived. Our little trailer rocked and rolled. We survived and continued on our way West. Tonight we are in a parking lot at a casino. Lyn

Thanks for checking in.....hope your days travel ahead don't try to top that sort of adventure.

Thanks for checking in ... so glad you're safe.

Thanks, Lyn! Safe travels the rest of the way - hopefully, you are done with storms!

Glad to hear you & Casey are safe. Not sure I would have stuck it out in my TT after seeing the news reports. I'm chicken that way.

Glad you are safe and glad you checked in. May the rest of your journey be uneventful.

Goodness.....you should have stayed here. All we got was some rain. Have a safe journey home.

Glad you checked in. That rocking and rolling is scary. Last weekend I was parked between 2 big ponds when the storm hit. I was wondering just how deep they were.

The second round is just now getting here and we are under a tornado watch.

Saw on the news tonight about the huge winds in TX and the damage that happened. Lyn, so glad you are safe and out of harms way.

Linda

we had lots of wind in the last couple of days (not today though) so I can relate....and tomorrow is
suppose to be more but don't think it is suppose to gust as bad...
glad you are safe continue to be so ok

I also am glad you are safe.

What tho, were your options? What can you do when you are in an RV in a campground and the weather turns?

Not sure where you are but Southern Nevada, So Calif and northern Arizona are supposed to have winds up to 60 - 65 mph with higher gusts today and tomorrow. If you are heading this way - DON'T.

So glad your safe, i always worry about those tornados in that area. Have had some breeze here but nothing like rock n roll kind.

You can usually go to the restroom/shower building during a storm. Those are usually built of concrete blocks with no windows and are the safest place to go. You can always ask about the designated storm shelters at the campground when you check in.

That's true. S ome campgrounds have safe shelters in areas prone to tornadoes or other violent storms, but others don't. Depending on the siituation, sometimes you can't make it to them either. As was the case in SD, when we got hit by a violent storm in the middle of the night. Winds were clocked at 90 mph. I was lucky to have gootten out of my rocking trailer into my truck, much less have tried to make it to the bathroom/office/laundry building, part of which suffered damage as was. Two trailers were blown over and the grain elevator in town was shredded. I saw metal laying on the other side of the freeway.

Glad you are safe Lyn.
