The Fall and Spring can bring some "monsters" thru there that will curl your toes, but be as prepared as ya can be....because if a tornado does come thru ya sure can't outrun them, so ya have to seek safety early and not in a vehicle....

Miss @AmberLops,

For what it's worth, I would go to the neighbor's house. A trailer house is very unsafe.



What are "fall offs"? That phrase reminded me of an episode of A Prairie Home Companion's "News from Lake Woebegone" where the mother was upset at her daughter because the daughter had on a T-shirt which read "Sex on TV won't hurt you as long as you don't fall off".

Well that's something I've been wondering about...
If the only storm shelter near me is at my neighbor's house, which is about a quarter mile up the road, or less than that if I cut through the woods...is it safe to try and run there to get to the shelter?
There's no way I would survive if a tornado hit my place directly, it's a pretty small trailer. So I would pretty much be risking it both ways...my neighbor says cut through the woods and run to his place...would you?

Sure would if it was a bad enough storm....a trailer home offers very little protection and if it catches ya offgaurd, ya would be safer in a ditch or hole in the ground....just not in a ditch full of water.....it only takes seconds for it to pass, but seems much longer....also, tornados are vortexs, which means it creates a vaccuum as oppossed to gusting winds like a hurricane.....it will pickup debris and spin it around in the vortex and will sling it out as it moves on.....I, personally, have seen a hole all the way thru a brick house made by a 2x4 and ya could take one in hand and slide it right thru to the backyard....the only damage done to that house, but the next door house was just a empty slab....they never found their stuff in the whole area.....they do some very strange things, so being aware is key to staying prepared.....
