<![CDATA[Under a buck ebook!]]>Mon, 21 Jan 2013 22:37:25 GMThttp://hscooper.weebly.com/4/post/2013/01/under-a-buck-ebook.html]]><![CDATA[RVs & Severe Weather]]>Tue, 08 Jan 2013 22:11:24 GMThttp://hscooper.weebly.com/4/post/2013/01/rvs-severe-weather.html Although RVs can withstand moderate winds, they are not intended to be used for shelter in any type of severe storm.

Weeks ago we went through a severe outbreak of tornadoes and the RV resort lacked adequate shelter facilities. Once the warning was in effect, we grabbed our hardhats (i.e. bike helmets), a couple stiff pillows and flashlights and then made a mad dash to the Chevy Silverado. We buckled ourselves in and drove to a low ditch-area near the park entrance. Moments later that area appeared to be a drive-in, as other Campers did the same.

Fortunately we only had rain and high wind gusts at the park; unfortunately, a park down the road had a tornado touch-down. Thankfully no one was injured but several homes were destroyed.

Sometimes you have to make the best of a bad situation. Keeping alert of the weather and having a type of emergency plan can keep you and your family safe.

For more information on RVing in severe situations, check out my book On the Road to Disaster.
