Outside of that, it was run outside (yes outside) to the nearest, lowest ditch.

(1,370 posts)Its a weird thing, but the local news harps on it every time there's a tornado. After it hits, its best to already have good shoes on, since there will be glass and other sharp stuff everywhere.

(30,947 posts)I live in a mobile home in Georgia. Fortunately, there have been a lot of near hits here in North Georgia. I live in fear every time I hear the tornado sirens going off and there is nowhere to run. Stay safe.

(1,370 posts)Alot of communities have ad hoc storm shelters. My little community in Auburn, KS opens up a church basement. A trailer is a scary thing if this storm hits.

(111,237 posts)Winds have been howling here in NM since yesterday, so it's not likely to get better downstream tomorrow, keep your eyes and ears open if you live in the midwest.
The storm that's causing a derecho to build in Wisconsin is all the way back in western N. Dakota.
Stay safe, everybody.
