      I thought the exact same thing as a tornado survivor. Motels/hotels bathrooms are typically in the interior. Go there.

    • @MorePi
      @MorePi 3 роки тому +1

      I think it's great she was in an interior room at all. So many people caught in night tornadoes are completely oblivious until their house is coming apart.
      Plus if the room I'm in is coming apart, I'd be more worried about flying wood than the heavy equipment.

      @NikkiDelventhal  3 роки тому +11

      This hotel had a weird design it was between the bathroom on the top floor or the only room in the whole hotel without windows (where I was and was directed to go interestingly enough). Better than the top outer floor of you ask me but totally see what you’re saying. Better than the car that’s a sure sign!

  • @southpawabq
    @southpawabq 3 роки тому +26

    Unless your hotel has an underground group shelter, your best option was: Grab a couple (or few) pillows and a blanket and go to the bathroom (they are built strong). Shut the door, throw pillows in the bathtub, crawl in, pull Camper in with you, cover up and wait it out.

    • @NikkiDelventhal
      @NikkiDelventhal  3 роки тому +9

    • @Skittl1321
      @Skittl1321 3 роки тому +9

      Bathtub is the safest place...but you also want to be on the lowest floor possible in an interior room. I'd pick a first floor hallway over an upstairs bathroom. /Live in tornado alley

    • @southpawabq
      @southpawabq 3 роки тому +2

      I didn't realize you were on the top floor. If the roof comes off it really doesn't matter which room you're in. So heading down was good. I would've still gone for a restroom of closet.

    • @roger7857
      @roger7857 3 роки тому

      Nikki yes lower floor had a local a few years ago sucked ip through the rokf.and left out in nearby field. Yes he went through the roof had minor cuts and scratches and bruises a very lucky man. Neighbor across the road was killed trying to get in her car. If at rest stop or near road remember any bridge you can take shelter in your car and if you see tornado climb to narrow space near the top and hang on tight to Camper and the bridge.

    My dog would always be the first thing I grab. Tornadoes can be unnerving, but earthquakes freak me out. I've got caught a few times in severe thunderstorms that spawned tornadoes. Once I was taking my elderly parents to the doctor. The winds lifted back of my F350 off the road. Luckily it wasn't for long, and I regained control quickly. But lost my windshield to hail. Thank God you both are ok

    I haven’t seen this video although you talked about it at the hocking hills tornado. This one came in close sparing the Prius by mere inches. However, the best part of the video was when he SANK on the seat as you took the cooler out. Camper, you provided the light moment when you just got through a disaster. Ms. Nikki is lucky to have you shining light and memorable moments to ease a terrible situation.

    3:59 I drove from Southern California to Chicago via Oklahoma years ago (pre iPhone). Back then all that was said on the radio, for hours, was "please take tornado precautions". Being from California I had no idea what tornado precautions were. I was amazed that local radio producers didn't think that non-locals could be listening.
    It was the only time in my life I was legit scared.

    So happy you and Camper are okay. Love Tru Earth and their big video commercial. Thanks for the discount! Big wind storms here (not tornados) snap the tops off thin pine trees that are damaged due to the bark beetles.
