When in doubt, err on the safe side

After a week of hot and humid weather in Sioux Falls, we were looking forward to nice, but a little less hot, than we had (80 degrees vs. almost 100).  However, we were a bit unprepared for severe storms. Monday night as I was preparing dinner we got reports of sever weather headed towards us. There was a severe thunderstorm warning that said we could have winds up to 100 mph and ping pong size hail. Other wording in the warning said you should not be in a mobile home. So, we pulled in the slides, and decided to wait out the storm in the car. (The campground did have a shelter in the bathrooms that had cement walls.)

While we got the rain and some wind (not 100 mph!) there was no hail. So we may have over reacted but again, did not want to be in the RV if something bad really happened. We came back, ate dinner, and hunkered down for the night. The bad part is it is still raining and much cooler than it was but we can't open windows because of the rain.
