There is one approaching roughly Toad Suck, and eventually Lonoke AR and another approaching roughly hot springs. Weak little ones. But the entire stormline in Arkansas is not a place to be in a big rig, winds over 75 gusts. It will throw down even a loaded rig.Farmerbob1 and 650cat425 Thank this. -

I'm sure you can work it out with a little thought.
Have you seen some of the videos of tractor/trailer rigs being picked up and thrown half a mile away by a tornado?
If you hunker down in the Walmart be sure to bring everything important with you in case your truck gets blown away.Farmerbob1 Thanks this. -

Nashville has walmart sized buildings laying flat on the ground from recent tornado. And i think it was schneider vans i saw ripped in half.
I would hate to be buried under a collapsed walmart.tommymonza and Coffey Thank this. -
Get into the ditch as low as possible.
Bridges are a funnel the venturi effect concentrates the wind and kills or chops up people under that bridge whatever it might be. A 200 mph twister will become a 310 mph living hell under that bridge.
Any time you have a tornado, you have to be underground. If you cannot get underground then get into a strong building with many walls between you and tornado. But ultimately underground is best. Brick buildings become tombs and cinder block walmarts get crushed then stirred. If at a truckstop the shop service bay trench is a fighting chance. Not ideal.
But a proper Grissom Shelter or other FEMA Approved Tornado shelter underground with special door or hatch securing devices and locking bars/wheel combined with small ventilation pipes above is the best chance to survive as are concrete storm closets in some homes. It might be wiped to bare slab with no dust on it but that storm closet will protect you. A ordinary closet will get wiped and then buried as you are chopped up.Farmerbob1 and 650cat425 Thank this. -
