Did ya bring a bottle along? Go back to camp and get in the bathtub if there is one.

I don't drink but I got trouble here. I got a 16' camper a Land Cruiser a flooded cabin and a deer stand and it's getting rowdy and I'm a long ways from anywhere. This will be fun, maybe the coyotes won't eat me before somebody finds my body.

Get around the most pipes you can find in the cabin. Tub is the best. Hopefully there's plumbing. Mattress over you if you've got one. Stay safe.

No pipes and only an air mattress. I'm in the woods now not sure I can make it to the cabin now there's a lot of water and wind. That brings up a good question. In this situation are you safer in a stand that's about to blow over or hugging a big tree and hope for the best.

Post the GPS location of your front gate so we will know where to find you...or your gear. That is what you would want, right?

I would think on a tarp in a ditch. Lowest you can get in the lowest spot you can find. (Not in a waterway of course.)

I'm right in the middle of that big red dot on your radar near jacksboro. The bow will be clenched in my hand and y'all can have this doe estrus thermacell. I'm joking but this really is sucking bad, I'll plan better next time if a tree don't fall on me.

I would get out of that stand and take my chances in the Land Cruiser.

Radar doesn't show a tornado, or warning, but strait line winds can be as bad, may be better of under the truck

Getting colder and windier. It's about a mile to the truck but I got in a ground blind so at least if it blows over I won't have far to fall. I'm gonna do some testing on the affects of tornadic activity on arrows soon so I'll get back with the results.

Well, we turn in early here, so I'll bid you a good night. Stay dry. Stay alive. And kill something in the morning.

Weirdest thing all bugs around feeder light are gone all frogs quit chirping all Mosquitos are gone and it is now dead silence. Not a sound in the woods but distant thunder, maybe I made it.

Only yellow spots in jack Co. Looks like you have maybe 20-30 minutes before you get more rain

These woods are thick thick and you can't see your feet but it will lightning so bright I can see 100 yards down the road. It's pretty cool but I hope it don't kill me.

Hope you brought a shotgun so you can shoot the pigs as they fly by! In this case maybe pigs do fly.
Hang in there.

What tales of ferocious beasts brought to ground and wrath-of-God tempests have you?
