what to do in a tornado situation

And then you have the folks who chase tornadoes. That has to be a special breed of nuts...

 

I know quite a few of us remember Joplin, MO. All those huge shiny new truck stops are no coincidence. That's one of the few things we came together on as a community: rebuild Joplin.

I've run through the outskirts of quite a few tornado storms in my day. Kansas, Nebraska, Ohio, Arkansas and a multi twister night time run down the west side of FL. Weather radio blaring, wipers slashing furiously, hail so big I'm just waiting for it to crack the windshield. Don't get me wrong, I'm no cowgirl, I was begging for a place to stop my train the whole time. Man, those were some white knuckle shifts.

Don't mess with Mother Nature, driver.

 

Put your head between your legs, and kiss your...

 

One thing you need to remember about those statistics is they are including all areas... Certain areas are more prone to tornados so those that live in those areas may be more likely to be effected by one

 

I remember Joplin from the news and videos on youtube. That was one monster tornado.

 

Just do what I saw a guy do when he got pulled into a truck inspection; lock the doors, go into the sleeper, close the curtains and hope it goes away.

 

I tend to think this might be what I would do. If you have no place to shelter, it's as good as anything else. Sometimes, I just put things in God's hands, reconcile myself to whatever happens.

 

Stastics be darned, it only takes one time of being at the wrong place at the wrong time, and you become a stastic.

I refuse to deal with ads in a critical radar app. For general weather information, I don't mind ads. Radarscope has made lots of improvements to both their iOS and Android versions over this past winter to satisfy chasers looking for options other than GrLevel and other software options...
