Just 15 mins down the road is Greenwell State park, with woodland trails, beaches and fishing piers. Stu thinks it will be a family favourite as beach campfires are permitted to cook marsh-mellows. Another great weather day, in fact the weather / temp built and built until on the Weds it was 85F, the aircon was on and it started raining hard.
The next thing we knew the neighbour was on the frontporch telling us a 'tornado code red' was in place and a visit from one was likely (not F3 unfortunately). We decided to be very British about it all, refusing to follow the advice, we stayed at the dinner table to finish our meal - that was until it got real dark real quick and the leaves in the garden were literally blowing in circles. We then heard a world war 2 type siren and decided we would head for the basement. It was our first code red, so instead of taking cover - we watched out of the window for 10 mins, then carried on with our evening. The next morning at the bus stop some mums were saying they had had a pretty rough night sleeping in the basement...
FOD: The most extreme tornados can attain wind speeds of more than 300 mph (480 km/h), stretch more than two miles (3 km) across, and stay on the ground for dozens of miles (more than 100 km)
