Ever been in a tornado, or seen the path of destruction after one touched down?
If not, let me assure you that an F-3 tornado, with winds in the 200 mph range, can wipe out anything standing and leave a path that looks like fresh-plowed earth!
When a tornado hit Mayflower RV on I-40 north of Little Rock yesterday, not all of the RVs on the lot fared as well as the ones in the picture. Many were picked up and carried hundreds of yards down the road. Some have not been found at all.
Of course, that’s not the worst of it. As of this writing, 14 are confirmed dead in Arkansas twisters that touched down yesterday.
A lady from California, obviously unfamiliar with the power of tornadoes, posted on RV.net that they were in an area of northern Alabama with tornado watches in effect. She asked if they should bring in their slide-outs if they had to ride out a tornado in their motor home.
It might be considered cruel – maybe a bit condescending – but the best answer she got was that if she was determined to ride out a tornado in her RV, she should leave the slides out because she “Might as well be as comfortable as possible during your last few minutes on earth.”
