Tornadoes are nothing to ignore and we have been under a tornado watch most of the afternoon. There have been tornadoes on the ground all around the area. There are pictures of a tornado picking up trailers of eighteen wheelers being tossed several hundred feet into the air. I can see our motor home taking off and hopefully not with us inside. Here schools go under lock down and do not release their kids until the warnings have been lifted. I do not know how many tornadoes have been located but did note that the airport at Dallas Fort Worth was completely closed and about 100 planes with possible hail damage. Now no planes can leave or others arrive. Probably once the planes have been inspected flight service will be reinstated.
Are we prepared for the next alert? Not yet, but we will be. We have been talking about what we need to do and what to grab when there is a tornado in the area. I guess this is a real heads up for us since we have known that we are now living in an area where they are common. As I am writing this entry there are still tornadoes on the ground on the eastern part of our viewing area. We will take this very seriously. Happy travels.

We were so glad that you two were safe and didn't get hit with the tornadoes! Thought maybe you'd head for Kim's house. Maybe your park should put in a tornado shelter. We have friends who have camped in Kansas City at a park with one. That would be a nice selling point for all those RV parks in "Tornado Alley." :)
