A Gale tornado is 40-72 mph. Some damage to chimneys; breaks branches off trees; pushes over shallow-rooted trees; damages sign boards.

Keep your awning in.

Everyday weather for this time of year in El Paso. Wind will sand blast a vehicle and paint job will be required.

I have spent more than my fare share of time in West Texas dust storms. Make sure you check you filters after the storm passes.

At 15 mph, I bring my boat in as I can see the white caps, I will not ride my motorcycle at 15 mph, at 25 mph I slow down more than normal in the RV, especially in open plan or where there are posted wind signs around valleys or cliffs.

I agree to "Hang it Up" at 30/35 mph winds /40mph gusts" in any vehicle. But I must say once we were in Mississippi in a SUV caught in a very bad storm with rain and tornado. The problem was the tornado was headed to where we were and getting worse so I kept driving to out run the storm, it was quite the ordeal.
