Strong Winds Can Flip RVs and Mobile Homes, Experts Warn

Experts warn that wind gusts of 50 miles per hour can potentially flip recreational vehicles and mobile homes. If you are traveling in or staying in an RV, it is crucial to plan ahead and seek shelter in a sturdy, secure building during severe weather.

Officials advise that when wind advisories indicate gusts exceeding 40 mph, travelers should reconsider driving. At gusts of 60 mph or higher, it is recommended to avoid parking outdoors altogether and find shelter inside a solid structure.

The warning comes as weather agencies monitor wind conditions that could pose risks to mobile homes and RVs, which are particularly vulnerable to strong gusts. Authorities emphasize the importance of taking precautions to protect personal safety during severe wind events.
