Tornadoes?

Hopefully no one on the forum was involved in any of the damage from the storms and tornadoes in the mid-South last night. Stay safe.

It hit us pretty hard here in Arkansas. Tore some communities up pretty bad. 7 confirmed dead. No tornadoes close to me, but I did get high wind and some hail. Fortunately, smart was in the garage. I do feel for the unfortunate though.

We didnt have tornadoes that I know of, but the wind was 70-80 mph gusts. Im glad I didnt take the bike. Would a smart do ok in those conditions?

Don't know. The way the smart is shaped, it could produce lift and then your a plane..........for a moment.

The smart is a handfull when at highway speeds during heavy wind gusts. I would not care to be driving in wind like you are referring to. At more moderate wind speeds just slowing down a bit seems to do the trick.
