✅ In This Video
Severe weather poses a life threatening risk to both campground owners and the RV guests. And let’s face it, no one starts RVing to survive a tornado in an RV.
But severe weather in an RV is a real struggle of RV Life. And when the RV Odd Couple experienced a Tornado Warning in Thunder Canyon Campground, there was some serious damage!
Most who consider full-time RV living don’t have a plan for severe weather! And most RVers don’t know that campgrounds are not legally obligated to provide shelter! This video teaches important RV tips for new RVers.
Because when considering the RV lifestyle, you must know severe weather and RV tornado safety!
This happens more often than you think. So if you’d like to see our experience with Severe weather and the Death wobble, check out this video here: • TORNADO ALLEY & DEATH ...

I have a recommendation John, since there are future plans to build a chapel at Thunder Canyon, we should give it a serious consideration to build strong enough to also provide emergency shelter for events like Tornados. The entire Thunder Canyon community can gather at the church building. What better place can we be than God’s House?

@RVOddCouple Год назад

You’re right on target Antonio! 😀👍🙏

@virginialemm864 Год назад

EXACTLY my thoughts, Antonio! 👍👍👍

@joycecarpenter1950 Год назад

I was going to make the same suggestion……👍👏👏❤

@markbergthold6181 Год назад

No injuries or loss of life, minor RV damage, could’ve been alot worse. It’s showed you where the problem areas are, now it’s design & Kubota time!

@annettevanwinkle6433 Год назад

That's a great idea Antonio

@frank430316 Год назад

Wow, glad everyone is OK! Really reminds us of last May when we visited Thunder Canyon. On our drive home, we stopped at a Cracker Barrel in Kansas for the night. On our drive home we passed through several areas with tornado watches, but we just found a safe place to wait out the storm. This time it was a tornado warning and we did not know what to do. But God was definitely with us, we went back inside and talked to the manager, who said if the sirens went off we could come into their walk-in refrigerator, where all the staff took cover - and they even had a place for our cat! The storm actually missed us but just barely. We got to sit on their porch and watch the lightning and hail storm, knowing that God would keep us safe! That was our introduction to RV life!

@RVOddCouple Год назад

Looking forward to seeing y’all again😀

@kenp9469 Год назад

Glad nobody was hurt. The highest wind gust here was 82mph. While snow has only been a minor inconvenience. The storms, have been far worse than usual. There were some killed around here by falling trees. As always, may God bless and keep you and your family.

@RVOddCouple Год назад

Thank you Ken🙏❤️

@michaelmartin9335 Год назад

I stayed in a campground in Tennessee about 3 years ago and we had a tornado warning go off at 5:30pm(Dixie Alley) There was a restaurant on the property constructed of 18 to 20 diameter logs with rebar reinforcement. When we arrived we were instructed to go there for shelter when the alarm went off. Great way to meet all of the other campers.

@RVOddCouple Год назад

Thank you for sharing 😀✌️

@joannamarquis2705 Год назад

One day in Wyoming it was go to town day, usually went in the morning but I had a sincere spirit felt feeling that I should wait. So I went in the afternoon. 5 miles from home a tornado had crossed the hiway, wiping out all the big trees along a creek as far as I could see. In town 70 miles away, in Cheyenne a tornado ripped a swath about 500 ft. wide as far as I could see. Leaving fences looking like a scissors had cut sections our precisely and every tree sliced off for as far as I could see. I still feel thankful for the Spirit speaking to me that morning. (I had not heard any warnings through radio, did not own a t.v.) So glad you're safe!

@RVOddCouple Год назад

Thank you Joanna❤️🙏

@darrellgordon9748 Год назад

Another idea that might help is paying attention to where you see major runoff and as you can afford it build drains to divert the water from to areas that need protection. Of course it will take time, money and resources but it might help down the road. I agree with other comment about making your church a storm shelter.glad everyone is okay. That’s the most important thing.

@RVOddCouple Год назад

Yes 👍

@csmith9189 Год назад

👍❤Glad you've stayed safe! Consider a storm shelter! That Chapel John spoke of might incorporate a storm shelter! God will provide. We are praying for y'all, blessings each and every day!

@tm8747 Год назад

about 2 yrs back we were in south dakota camping in a trailer park, when a tornardo warning sounded , i rushed into action to protect my rig and truck, i used 20,000# strips over the top of the trailer into screw anchors in the ground, the anchor screwed down about a foot into the ground there were 3 for the trailer and 2 or the truck . we loaded into the rangers back bed and went to a save place. before we left i opened all windows so there would not be pressure on the trailer, closed windows blow out!, i also made from silver tarp material a splash screen for the windows on the inside and laid down paper towels around the windows on the inside, with some appliances on the counter top to hold down the paper towels. when the tornardo passed, our trailer was the only one standing up , damage was some branches and leaves on the side only. some people stated that is over kill, but its better this then not going home without your rig.

@martjebicker9168 Год назад

I remember that video of the tornado when the awning came off. Mercedes you are becoming a veteran of storms. I hear a much calmer demeanor in you now. Still scary but calmer allows you to think clearer. God Bless you all.

@Cecil_X Год назад

I have seen a few. Many years ago my parents had two go through their place while only taking out a few trees on their property. The neighbors we not so lucky on the second one. About a mile down the road it took out a few buildings and a mobile home park. One life was lost. I am glad you are OK and I hope everyone in your community is also. May God continue to be with you, through the good and the bad.

@lakesuperiorgirl17 Год назад

Our neighbors a mile away from our home has had their house hit by a tornado twice in five years

@timinsandiego6979 Год назад

Glad everyone in the compound seems in good shape. Looks like you have a bit of work ahead and I'll bet you'll get pleasure out of planning and implementing. You guys have a great retreat. Can't wait for the day i can visit as a full-timer. My best!

@RVOddCouple Год назад

Thank you Tim😀

@bunnielynn777 Год назад

Of course I keep you guys in prayer everyday, but I searched the best that I could in the internet, trying to make sure that everything was alright in your neck of the woods. I just live across the border from y’all in GA, so I was also under a watch. I sure miss having a basement at times like this! Praise God that we all survived it🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

Thank you for the Prayers Bunnie🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

@ranaeboaz3777 Год назад

😮 wow, glad ya’ll are ok and safe .. sad to see so much hard work from everyone and all that money spent get damaged but, lives cant be replaced or repaired like things can be … but now you know the problem areas and can rework a plan to make sure it doesn’t do so much more damage for the next time (praying that a next time is long off)…prayers to all of ya’ll that live there !!!! i am trying to get back to tc as fast as possible

@Sharon3rd Год назад

I’m praying for you guys! The end of this video gave me chills. One thing I have learned about tornadoes is that when you see the green/blue sky; there’s a tornado coming at or near you. I’m in Talladega County- Central East in the mountain range. We purposely dug in the side of the slope surrounded by hilltops on all sides praying that tornadoes will go over us instead of smashing us. Water flow control is paramount to safety. I’m sure you will get it figured out. Anywhere you have drainage pipes that aren’t getting water during and after a storm- best to alter that ditch so that it works. Edit: But, even the best systems can be overloaded during a deluge of water. Thanks for putting up the videos, and also being passionate about our Lord!! You asked for opinions- mine is that we should be aware of what’s going on and prepare because the signs are everywhere and not all people notice it due to every day life, strife and changes. However, God charged us Christians with faith, hope, love and charity for others. Panic is going to happen, but prayer just might be the answer along with preparation. ❤ Take care! May God Bless you both and your community.

@hshalom9113 Год назад

As long as the cows didn't fly all is well! 😄 I've camped in both tents & a rig in severe storms and several tornados. Always an adventure. My sticks & bricks sustained more damage from a tornado - lost my roof here in the CA desert! God is good. ❤🙏✡︎✝

@RVOddCouple Год назад

God is Good ❤️🙏

@lappy0749 Год назад

We camped at Sandusky Ohio KOA one summer. A very bad storm rolled through overnight. In the morning, I stepped out of the camper into knee high water! In the shower facility, another camper, with a tent, was saying how he woke up floating on his air mattress! Proper drainage is so important, especially in campgrounds! Prayers coming your way for a resolution to your problem! God Bless you and Thunder Canyon! 🙏

@russellbowman8051 Год назад

Glad God Keept His Hand Of Protection Over You and Family Once Again!! Keep Smiling On!! 😀👍👊❤

@RVOddCouple Год назад

Thank you Russell ❤️

@annieoakley3700 Год назад

Build basements on your new structures. Your church, homestead , and even animal barns! Even a basement with a walk out is energy efficient and provides shelter!

@barrya5191 Год назад

Basements can be death traps if drainage around it isn't really good.

@sharoncochran8508 Год назад

Relieved that nobody was injured and that everything can be repaired. We had two tornadoes in Jacksonville a few years ago that destroyed a significant part of the university and so many homes but no loss of life, thanks be to God. A few minutes really changed our beautiful little town.

@RVOddCouple Год назад

Makes complete sense Cher

@quiltgal5444 Год назад

We check at campgrounds, especially in the South, and most have a shelter. (Usually the bath house) You just need a sturdy place anchored with no windows. Usually an inner bathroom with no windows works. We did have one campground…the Thousand Trails one in Arley, AL that had some metal buildings anchored against the side of a hill with benches inside. In my house we have no basement we go to the closet under the stairs.

@dirtroaddestiny Год назад

Tornadoes are scary. I remember as a kid having tornado drills but they were for real. They’d just tell us kids it was a drill. blessings.

@RVOddCouple Год назад

Blessings ❤️

@janicehubbell Год назад

I'm sorry to hear about the damage, but at least no one got hurt. Things can be fixed.

@keithallen3119 Год назад

Weather is not to be taken lightly. In our Super C motorhome a few years back we were on I-80 out west, and a bad thunderstorm ramped up to a warning in just a few minutes. We listed like a sailboat in full tack. There was no place to hide out on the high plains. I learned options for escape are critical when you can't get to a safe shelter. The box truck in front of us went over; the tanker truck stayed on its wheels as it was loaded. We stayed on our wheels as well. Having a storm shelter on the property is a great addition and should be part of the planning going forward if it's financially possible. Good luck on the repairs, be safe doing the work.

@SoftwareEffect1 Год назад

Glad yall and the chickens are ok. I second Antonio Orihuela's idea. On a side note - I bet the water in the canyon was wild right after the storm!

@RVOddCouple Год назад

Canyon was amazing 🤩

@donrainey199 Год назад

Glad you are safe.. be safe and it's great to plan ahead.. for emergency.. from your vids and what I can see.. you really worked hard before hand .. making roads and drainage ditches .. so looks like you were ready and most of water was controlled and kinda flowed where you channeled it.. great job.. love your vids.. GOD bless.. you really got something special going on there..

Hey, I’m glad you guys are safe. The good thing about that storm was that now you know the improvements that you need to do to the park to make it better I know that that’s not a good thing but anyway. Ok 👌🏼 🔥🤠🔥Camping Russ out

@joanleon8704 Год назад

I am full-time 5th wheel living NW of Houston. Last year we had a tornado cone through, RIP off commercial A/C units off of commercial buildings, flip cars/trucks around, and came through ou RV park, ripped a very old tree out of the ground and hit RV near it, came across directly for my RV, wow powerful wind on my RV , lifting things up and tossing all around, even very heavy items. Since then I am very cautious where I put RV and those near me - never will I be near trees or folks with lots of things around exterior of their RV to fly through the air and into my RV and windows.

@waynelytton7517 Год назад

I saw that storm center heading your way on the news here in North Carolina and was wondering how you guys fared. Glad to see that you'all are safe and no one was hurt. I was in Birmingham , Alabama several years ago under a Tornado watch. Thank God we did not have a storm. The campground we were in had two storm shelters which was comforting.

@bobcleveland7316 Год назад

@naknaksdadn572 Год назад

Just relieved that y'all are safe. We get them twisters over here in Texas. My wife and i keep an orange "go bag" and everyone knows the drill to get out of our rig quickly in case of a tornado or fire. We do practice safety and have first aid equipment, fire extinguishers and a device to suck out obstructions for choking. The bath house at our resort is the best bet for tornadoes as they are built strong. ~Scott, Cherryl and sons~

A couple of steel storage containers. Pour some concrete and weld them down to some plates embedded. We used these in Texas several times, they work good if you set them up correctly.

@jillgott6567 Год назад

You two are the best ! Great idea to meet up with first responders so they are familar with your place since there are so many people in the campground and to train in first aid. Glad you are all safe

@davidpearson1752 Год назад

Shipping containers makes a perfect shelter, can be bolted down and then soil put around the sides.

We were in a 22' TT on the side of a mountain during hurricane zeta. It was terrifying. Trees were falling. One tree crushed a tiny cabin and thank God no one was in it. The electric box literally blew up and put black smoke on the side of our camper when a tree fell on the line. I took my daughter and put her under the table. The acorns sounded like bullets. We lived through it and the next morning all the campers were checking on each other. No power, no phone, no cell, no wifi. It was beautiful to see everyone come together though. Never want to go through that again Lord willing. ❤

@lindajohnson4204 Год назад

Not that I know the actual conditions, but even if you can't dig a basement, a "daylight basement" can be built adjacent to the hillside, with a safe, shelter roof, covered with some kind of an upstairs building. A stairway to the downstairs would be helpful, but to be able to drive or walk to the "daylight" entrance downstairs would make it more like the library shelter. It would be accessible to crippled people, that way, so, so much the better. Unlike when we were growing up, Alabama is now in the middle of Tornado Alley. Yesterday, Nashville was in the middle of the system, all day long, but although we got very strong winds all day (8-10, if not more, fence panels were blown down here!), we had no actual storms. Good to hear you intend to build a shelter for your guests, and help them find the existing shelters until you do. Eider always reminds me of when my cousin and his wife lived in Section, near the scary, high bridge to Scottsboro, back in the 1970s, after the army. He made some awesome paintings of the area. And it reminds me of when my mom and Chrystal, a girl from the children's home she worked in, went to the last, Alabama "June Jam" in Fort Payne.

@RVOddCouple Год назад

Thank you for taking the time to share this Linda🙏❤️

@roydavis2242 Год назад

We've lived in a somewhat tornado area most of our lives. We've also been in a campground that was flooded. One of the safest places on our property in my RV garage because of the poured concrete walls and reinforced steel beamed roof, but we have a basement with a safe room as well. My issue with the safe room is that I am claustrophobic and it is not very big. I knew a guy who had a basement in solid rock that the dynamited to build.

@maggiew6200 Год назад

We get high winds in Alaska at our home all the time. Biggest thing keep no trees 🌳 🌲 around the house/building/power lines. We get blizzards because it whips the snow ❄️ all over like crazy and piles it wherever it wants to so could be in front of all your doors 🚪 & windows 🪟 & venting system. I would put some storm shelters put in. We had an under ground shelter & above ground shelter in our home in Missouri that we had.

@RVOddCouple Год назад

Great info Maggie!

@tshockmom69 Год назад

On your slopes, you can easily build a basement shelter room for your residents.

@lyfandeth Год назад

Consider putting in tie-down points for the RVs. Four concrete footins, or 6' long ground screws, so that nylon tow straps or rope can be run over each RV when high wind conditions are forecast. That's how marinas secure boats on land in storm season. Or consider adding kits of 4 ground screws plus webbing for sale. Any RV really should be carrying a set for high wind/storm security.

@debbyschweighardt5810 Год назад

Our campground has cement block restrooms and we twice went there with our 2 dogs, their water dish, and our water bottles. The whole tornado went by us, about 300 feet away. We stayed in the rest rooms for 45 minutes. We were very lucky.

@RVOddCouple Год назад

Awesome!

@bernadettewinn6499 Год назад

@dallasarnold8615 Год назад

It seems to me that you could upgrade your fellowship hall for storms fairly inexpensively by having plywood or other storm covers for the windows, and if accessible add storm ties to the rafters to the walls. I have often read that the best protection for structures is to make sure the roof is very strongly attached to walls. If you wish to offer some protection to RV's, you could install what I have always heard them called, "hurricane ties". These are anchors that are similar to the ones used by utility companies for guy wires. It looks like an auger for about 4 to 6 inches at the bottom and rod about 3 feet long with a loop on the top. You simply screw it into the ground then attach a strap going over to a second anchor on the other side of whatever you are trying to hold down. It is my understanding that these are code requirements in mobile home parks. Glad no downed trees, so far at least. And especially glad you all are okay.

@jw6180 Год назад

Glad y’all are okay! I thought I remembered you guys building your own shelter, but maybe I just remember you taking about it. Regardless, it’s something you need. 🙏🏻💪💕

@cheriwaller7598 Год назад

Having lived in Houston TX as a kid, a tornado hit our house one night. It was one of the scariest things I've ever been through. And yes, it sounded like a train without the whistle. I'm so glad ya'll are ok! Whatever the cost, find a way to build some kind of shelter. Something is better than nothing. And start believing God for a really secure structure that can handle an F5, something where everyone in the campground can go. In the meantime, we'll all keep praying for a hedge of protection around your campground! Oh, and I like the idea that others mentioned of putting the shelter in with the chapel. That's a cool idea!

@cherylb82 Год назад

I'm glad you all made it through the storm alive praise the All mighty, as others were not so fortunate. Prayers for all those in need of the Lord YaH's mercy and grace as you turn toward restoration.

@lakesuperiorgirl17 Год назад

Several years ago our seasonal site at a camp ground was hit over 1/2 of the campers were damaged or totaled but everyone made it to the tornado shelter 8 minutes after the sirens went off the campground was hit.sadly the campground that I’m at now has no shelter you have to drive into town to the fire station. This is in Minnesota. I take tornado warnings seriously

If they can make it big enough for their people PLUS passer by's/The community I dont see why they wouldn't help foot the bill. They got the land & they're willing to build 🤷🏼‍♀️ what's meant to be will be!

How about that, the bamboo site had a waterfall! I'd ask you to keep it going for me when I come up Easter weekend but I picked a site closer to the center of actvity. See you then.

See y’all soon

Looks like you need a little ditch work. After a rain storm like that the water will tell you where you need the ditches most.

Praise God that everyone's okay! I see there are other Rver's there also did they go to the shelter as well? Is it mandatory to leave or not? This is all new to me, thank you so much for the information as well! God bless you all! 🙏

QUESTION:Comparing propane furnace to Mini split with propane powered generator, which might give greater efficincy/endurance?

@RVOddCouple Год назад

Great question, not sure?

@grandadcrypto Год назад

of course its the wind and rain. And there is more coming. There was 25 feet of snow at lake Tahoe. And that front will be here soon.

If John builds a chapel, look into the perfect block company. The company is located in Arizona. They are tested for category 5 hurricane.

I can't believe I just found this. When you are one of my 2 favorite places on Sand Mountain. I will be seeing you. Watching RU-vid and I'm a nature freak, saw RVSquad thought why not. YOUR IN MY AREA 😂😂😂😂

@thomasbontempo168 Год назад

Glad you made it through the storm! How's winter weather overall? Can we snowbirds find comfort there?

Welcome to living in the south where this is a normal occurrence with quick weather changes. You will get used to it after a few years. And as you've discovered basements are not an option unless you have the extra funds to build one.

I may not have a real clue about this, but maybe a steel shipping container would be a good emergency shelter if it was anchored to the ground and fitted with a sturdy door and something like a Jackery and some LED lamps and maybe a radio. That would be sufficient, especially if you put some bottled water and a camp toilette inside it. I don't know how much one of them costs or what it would cost to fit it with a door, but it couldn't be as much as a building.

You guys live in the area we call in Ga the " Birth of Ga tornados" especially for west ga.

Cinder block shower rooms are good, make sure you have rebar reinforcements.

@RVOddCouple Год назад

That’s right Roz. We have a concrete block shower but it’s not reinforced

I was in a our very small camper last night during a severe thunderstorm that turned into a tornado warning! I was honestly scared to death!! The wind and rain were INTENSE and STRONG!! This little camper rocked several times so hard I was afraid it might flip…….. my husband works nights, so I was here by myself with our 2 pets…. I didn’t have a clue what to do as we’ve only been in our camper for 3 weeks since selling our home! I couldn’t hook up and flee, and had no idea where to flee to!! We are getting a new camper - a bit newer and bigger - this coming week, but we definitely need to figure out a game plan if weather turns bad again……! I wish we had a safe place here where we’re staying…..

@RVOddCouple Год назад

Please figure out a plan Chellee! RV is really bad place.

@jerrilynnbicek7996 Год назад

It breaks my heart to see the water damage. You guys have worked so hard to make your camp beautiful and safe for your guests. I have been in a decades long battle with flood water in our back yard. I know the cost, frustration, and work involved. Keeping you in prayer.
