Report of 50 RV's Flipped at RV Park

I think the news said it was straight line winds since all the trees were going in the same direction.

A TT destroyed, pictures of 5ers and TTs, but no MHs. Do we know if the heavier weights of the MHs might have saved them??? I am asking because we have to travel from Florida to Colorado in about 3 weeks with our heavy coach. Is this something we have to be concerned about.

I wouldn't be concerned about it myself. I always check the weather forecast for the route I am taking and try to adjust as necessary. If bad weather is forecast when I am in a campground, I bring in the slides, awning, gear, etc and hope for the best. No use worrying about what I can't control.

Wow, we don't have tornado's where I live but the punks do flip those cute little Smart cars-does that count?

I'll bet the weight of a motorhome is not much different from a doublewide mobile home and it seems tornados and microbursts seem to chew those up! I don't plan on sheltering in my RV if I know a tornado is coming. Looks like these poor folks got caught by suprise.
