Wind

From Austin we went to Corpus Christi and spent a week in a campground right on Corpus Christi Bay.  This could have been a great place but the weather was poor much of our time there.  One day was about 73 degrees at 3 in the afternoon.  But the forecast was for a big cold front to come through mid afternoon and cool things of considerably.  About 3:30 the wind came out of the north and we had sustained 30 mph wind with gusts to 50 for the next 10 hours.  The temp the next morning was 31 and a slight rain made the bridges in the area freeze.  A big change.  But what we were most concerned with was the wind.  The RV was rocking back and forth and being buffeted by the gusts.  I was concerned we might have some damage to the protective awnings over the slides but there was none.  So even parked with all 4 levelers firmly on the ground we are rocked by wind.  It was a little nerve racking but we did just fine.  Let's call it a confidence booster!
