We walked early yesterday and the weather was cool with clouds. Then in the evening time I was watching a basketball game and the message came across the bottom of the screen that our county was in a severe thunder storm area. So I went out and let the awning up,strapped the chairs and table together. I then,came in and turned on my scanner radio to the Skywarn channel. It seems as though we were in for more than a storm. The Skywarn team is volunteers who have ham radios and keep a close watch on this type of situations. They were warning small craft warnings for the gulf of a severe storm out in the gulf that was coming ashore. Also they would give the approximate time it would hit our area. The clouds started to have a circular motion before it hit land and when it landed we had 2-3 tornados to touch down near us. We had a steady wind at 61 mph and gust up to 73mph. There were some signs blown down and trees uprooted but,nothing anymore damaging then that.
So another typical day in the life of a fulltime rv'er.
