Be Prepared

We've lived in the DFW area for a long time (Dwayne for his entire life, Patti since 1985) - but our first night "back" living in the bus, there is a tornado warning. We aren't in a regular campground that would have provided a gathering place, we aren't in a WalMart that would have a Tornado shelter; instead, we are parked at an RV service center, which is closed for the night, and there are dozens of other motorhomes around us, as well as an aluminum canopy over the motorhomes across from us. We knew that severe weather was predicted, but when WeatherBug sent an alert over our phones at 350ish this morning, followed shortly by the tornado warning sirens sounding nearby, we realized we didn't have a plan! All I could think about is that tornadoes always seem to target mobile home parks, and could the tornado tell the difference between a parking lot full of motorhomes and a mobile home park????

Dwayne was much more sane than I. I had packed up the cats in their carriers and was figuring we needed to evacuate to somewhere - where, I wasn't sure!

On the list: each camping location, decide together what you're going to do if severe weather occurs.
