Tornadoes and a Stupid Garmin GPS

After a dry winter, we’re hitting a lot of rain. Heavy rain can be bad if you have a leak in the RV, but tornadoes are pretty scary. This morning we had a tornado warning. The best we could do would be to go to the camp bathrooms as a shelter, but we were OK with nothing in our immediate area. The two red flags in the picture means the beaches were closed to swimming from the day before the major storm. 
As we drove to our next stop, we saw the results of two tornadoes with big trees ripped out of the ground and tarps on a few houses. At our stop near Columbus, Georgia we heard they had tornadoes north, south, and west of the campgrounds. Again at our next stop, we heard about tornadoes north of us. Definitely several exciting days but there was no real danger. 


We’ve always had a volatile relationship with our GPS lady. Today she thought she’d save us 0.1 mile or so by a short-cut between two good intersecting roads. This is the dirt road with mud puddles she put us on in our RV and pulling a car (all dirtier now). We were not happy with her and there were a few bad words spoken while bumping along this road. Hopefully she’ll learn, but I doubt it.
