Overnight, a tornado tore through an campground, which is one of the worst places to be in severe weather. If you get enough warning, there is usually a sturdy shelter in any large campground, sometimes it's the bathrooms or showers.
Or, as some opted to do, get to the nearest business*. Some went to the huge casino near the campground. Others escaped to a nearby restaurant and rode it out in the walk-in cooler, one of the best places to go.
Everyone in tornado country should have a weather app on their phone to get tornado warnings, especially while you sleep. You know the drill: take cover in a basement, cellar, or the lowest most interior room with no windows (bathrooms/bathtubs are strongest because they are anchored by plumbing.)
*gas stations and convenience stores are not great, but better than a tent, car, or RV. I have actually survived a campground tornado, so this news hit me hard. #Oklahoma#KOA#Campground#Tornado#Claremore
