Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Well, considering that I did at one time reach 80mph on the interstate with no problems.....You Texans doing all right? Good to see you posting in the morning.
Just out of curiosity - what level of storm or wind speed begins to threaten RVs and what can you do to minimize the potential damage, aside from driving away?
I have driven on highways with 40-45mph side winds as well, and been OK.
If high winds threaten, we may bring in the slides to save our slide toppers and reduce our wind profile. If the high winds come from fore or aft, then we barely even feel them. Side wind gusts can be uncomfortable, but the motorhome is too bottom heavy to tip over.
Things like tornadoes, and hurricanes though - all bets are off. Nearby tornado warning - we seek a building for shelter. Hurricane expected - we leave. Twisting winds or side winds exceeding 70mph - I would not stay in the motorhome.
Very little rain overnight last night, and I don't think we'll get much today. We ended up on the "dry" side of the storm. We could really use some rain. Looks like Corpus Christi and north of there is getting hammered.
