We were in a severe thunderstorm earlier this year and the campground had all the campers move to a shelter that had a basement. I’d look for other shelter rather than “ride it out” in our trailer.

I've never experienced anything such as you people talk about. We do listen to the radio, mostly for weather updates and if a storm is coming, we relocate. Once in Newfoundland (our first time there), we wanted to head inland; but needed a place to stay; so we found a campground with no vacancies. They let us dry camp near a hill, which took the force of the winds. It poured hard. We got the water in the form of a beautiful waterfall behind our camper the next morning. We were slightly uphill from it. Also, the highway was one way that day due to flooding. When it's parked here at home; it stays; but we're not in it. less

We pulled into the first driveway we came to and knocked on the door. These folks opened their home to an out-of-state family of four. There are always buildings around. Sometimes we just need to ask. Earlier this year we heard the sirens while at a rally in an Indiana county fairground. Everyone's phones were also alarming during the evening entertainment. We were directed to a basement shelter. I would never ride it out in the RV. less
