With all the tornado activity we're hearing about I thought that it might be a good idea to set up a few scenarios on
"What would you do"?
Please post "any" thoughts, ideas, tips, etc. that you might have. It just might be something that one of us would not have thought about.
1) You are all set up at a campground. It's 7 PM, you're watching tv and you see an alert for a tornado warning in your area.
2) It's 2 AM and you are woken up by extremely severe winds....(could be a tornado).
3) You are traveling (with your rig) and you see a tornado in the direction that your heading. (No place to turn)
4) You are traveling in your truck (without your rig).
5) You've gone hiking and you are 2 hours away from your truck or shelter.
6) Once again, you are in your truck (with or without your rig), you see a tornado heading your way.... no place to turn, no ditch
to jump in, no shelters around.
7) A tornado hits your campground. Your rv is turned over, (nobody is hurt in your rv).
8) During a severe storm a large branch falls and punctures a 6 inch hole in your roof.
9) Debris falls on the electrical pedestal and you see sparks in that area.
10) "During" a severe storm or tornado, a bolt of lightening starts a fire 100 feet from your campsite.
I know and you know that there are many more situations that could be added to this list. I also realize that I might have painted a couple of situations that are "not likely" to happen. The purpose of this post is enlighten or help one of us that "may" come across one of these or similar situations.
How great would it be if just one of us comes up with a new or clever idea that could possibly protect property and/or save a life?
I have a few thoughts that I will share later.
Please, let's get together and share some ideas.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO???
Thank you
Dick
