Rocking and Rolling

Sherri and I have come to the conclusion that being here in North Texas is not where we... are anyone else for that matter should be this time of the year.
This is the southern end of Tornado Alley. What would a full time RVer be doing sitting here in April and May? For the life of me I have no idea. We need to make a change in our over all plan. There is no place hotter in the summer...the spring brings tornadoes and rain beyond imagination. That leaves the fall and the winter. 
We have yet to find a place for the winter and the fall...well this place might do...but then why keep a place that is just for the short fall season here? 
The winter is cold and wet here and there is noting to do when you can't get out of the RV. We need to find us a winter spot. Maybe we can use this for the fall? We will have to give this all some serious thought.
Last night we had winds well over 60 miles an hour. Sounded like we were in a wind tunnel. One of the gates came loose and swung around hitting the hitch on the RV. The gate was damaged but the hitch looks OK. 
I was sleeping when I heard the bang and jumped up to see what was coming apart. My first thought was our barn's roof was coming off! When I got outside I could hardly stand up the wind was so bad. With the rain it looked like being on a ship on the ocean during a hurricane. The rain was blowing sideways and it was non stop at one speed! 
This is when I noticed the gate. Luckily it did not hit my truck which was parked in the driveway! With the force that it was blown around it would have made a considerable dent!
This went on for about 30 minutes and then it was just rain after that. I was relieved to see it calm down some. 
After we made sure the radar showed no more severe storms coming we both turned in for the night.   
I can't tell you how many of the storms we have gone through but I will tell you this we will be relocating...

As much as I love Texas we have two weeks of Spring and two weeks of Fall.
The rest of the time it is to hot or to cold.

RVSue follow's the elevation. If it's to hot she goes up in elevation. If it's to cold she drops in elevation.

Sounds like a pretty good plan to me.
