Well that's the main time frame. But, anytime you get warm and cold fronts together the formula is met. I've been around more than I can remember, in fact my home town was wiped off the face of the earth. These things are the most destructive force mother nature can throw at you and should not be taken lightly at all. A EF5 is wind speeds > 300 mph (finger of God). Thank the heavens that our technology has advanced to where we are at. We have early warning systems in place now that are awesome. In 1984 when Morris Oklahoma was hit (my hometown) 7 people may not have died. Since I retired, I started teaching as an Industrial Safety Trainer. One of the classes I teach is Tornado Spotting and Evacuation. I would like to do this class as a seminar at the next HOC National Rally.

Yes I agree, things have gotten better for warning folks of danger, But we still had over 500 killed by twisters last year.. Yes they are dangerous.

I think that is a great idea.. One can never learn enough about safety, especially when it comes to bad weather.

Hey Herbiesrig I'm in your neck of the woods, "God's Country".
We're in Copper Harbor at Lake Fanny Hooe RV park.
Spent 4 days in Munsing at the City Tourist Park.
You and Karen said it was a nice place, and it is.
I will go back there.
We had some problems with low voltage in the park though.
I heard we just missed you and Karen.
Leave here Sat. morning, but don't know where we're going yet, maybe Iron Mountain area.
Looking for a campground/rv park to go to.

Branson = north (southern end) US
Nashville = middle US
Goshen = northern US
Gillette = northern US
Maybe it is time to go to the Southern or Northwestern US. Perry Georgia does have a great facility although it is way far east for many of the western folks to get there. Redman Oregon has a great facility. Then again Sedalia, Missouri does also.

Good deal Jim, I'm happy to do it. I'm gonna tailor a Power Point more toward RVs.

We've camped here for 10 days last year. Very open, easy to get around, level campground and the colonies offer a great deal for just interesting sightseeing and great food. The only draw back was the park was a little dusty. But, i think this was due to new gravel on the sites and needed a little rain. We stumbled in during a Frieghtliner rally, so the facility will handle even the larges rigs without an issue. I'd have to vote Yes for a rally here.

My take on the location is, in the middle of the US certainly shuts out a lot of people on the outlined areas of the US. Not any good as to have it but it needs to be held where it is accessible to many, and not so far away from the east or west coast. Just my 2 cents worth.

Middle of the Country should allow the most people to make it. If its on the East Coast or West, that cuts out a lot of people that have to drive 2500 miles rather then half of that.
But then again if you have say 500 people that could make one in Say Southern Mo. But if were held in Las Vegas there would only be 200. It would need to be held where the most campers can make it . We have been having these type deals with a different group for years. With it in Ky we all site's booked but move it to Ok City and we had 30% of what we had in the other years. So middle of the county does not always work if 90% of the members that would show up are east of the Ms River.

X2!!
If I have to drive 3-4 days one way, we are out. Somewhere in the middle would be great for use. We hear about all the great things that go on at the Rallies, but can't afford the drive time to experience it first hand.
