We have had a long winter and springtime is here all we are looking to do is load up the R V and go camping. But springtime brings warmer temperature that brings added storms.
Even thou all we want is to get out of the city and away from the rat race go for a fun getaway weekend for a week-long vacation. But in the spring we need to keep a close eye on the weather. The warming temperature with still the cool temps we see the weather reports about all of the server storms and tornadoes that come with springtime.
Make sure you have a safety plan all set up and every family member know what to do in case of the unsuspected emergency.
- Do you have a safe place to shelter down in until the storm passes?
- Do you have a weather radio or app saved on your phone to receive warnings?
- Do you know the county of the state you are in to make sure the level of danger?
- Is your First aid kit expired? We all think of we do not use it it is will be OK but the thing in the kit do expire.
- Some people like to boom docking. Does a family member or friend know where you are going?
All of us that have grown up in the Midwest know how fast a storm can come upon you. While you are out on the highway always be looking for some kind of shelter. Whatever you do don’t think you will be able to outrun a storm. That will put you and your family in a danger situation real quick.
- Always look for the lowest place you can find.
- Some people think an overpass is a good place to go. But that is not true if it is going to be in a direct path of the storm because it will create a wind tunnel and can pull small children or pets right out of your hands
- If there is no place to go is in the ditch and try to get away from your vehicle so you don’t get hit by flying debris.
There are many more safety things you can do to protect your family than I have listed or talked about. I hope this sheds some thought and in site for you to make your own plane for yourself.
Be safe and Happy R Ving
