As intense wind and rain whipped around a Texas couple during a tornado, they did not know whether to stay inside their RV or seek shelter outside the vehicle. Finally, they decide it’s too dangerous to be inside their vehicle. Ally Chapman took their two dogs and jumped into a watery ditch. Chapman later shared an update a day after the harrowing ordeal. The RV park they were in suffered severe damage.

Lets be honest, thier was no good choices for her and the dogs..
Smart people to get out of that vehicle. Wind can uplift from underneath. Graba banket to protect yourself from hail & flying debris. Pet harnesses on your dog before bad weather comes. Update your microchips.
Left and for sure go into the Ditch water
Terrifying!!!!!
You shouldn’t save an animal if you only have a tiny amount of time… but
If you had longer like them do what you want.
Don’t hate it’s the truth btw
Don't stay in an RV! Instead STAY IN A CAR with the ignition on. Cars have been heavily modified to protect occupants during crashes.
Or.. a u-turn and speed outta there works for me too!
I mean what sane person _would- leave the dogs behind? It's their dogs, their precious babies! Scary!
That family did the right thing. And it saved their lives. Good pups for listening to momma and dad.
This is what all the California people need to understand about moving to Texas
Best choice would be to leave Texas entirely. There isn't space here to discuss all the reasons why.
Anyone notice the power lines arching near the ditch filled with water? Lucky an energized line didn't fall into the water and fry them!
They did the right thing. And it wasn't likely that shallow ditch would have a flash flood.
Had a tornado come through Chattanooga a few years back. My mother in law lives in a trailer. When it hit she says something told her to go to one side of the trailer and not the other. She crouched in the back corner of the trailer and prayed. When it was over the trailer was completely annihilated…save one corner in the back. She came out of it with her side hurting a little. I wish you could see the photo of a large crumpled piece of aluminum with 5 trees draped across it. You would never guess somebody lived.
It wouldn't matter if they took a direct hit they would have been pulled out, especially with an ef3+
Tornado advice: Always record a video when you fear for your life!
Looks like their RV was unscathed. I just wonder if the people in the destroyed trailers got out to safety.
Tornado emergency procedure also state you must record your evacuation
My father was an atmospheric researcher so he knew a lot about this field and when I asked him what to do if there was a tornado where I lived he said, "Get out of the car and lie in the gutter. You want to be in the lowest place you can find." I consider these words to live by.
OMG
good idea to leave the vehicle and bring the dogs… Them seeking the ditch is exactly what is taught in school to survive a tornado… the ditch however was filled with water, and there was a street light nearby… im no electrician but could they not get cuted when the pole goes down and touches the water?
I would ask…. is it a good idea to keep filming with your cell phone while in a tornado?
Rule #1 the cameraman never dies
Surprised the dogs were so willing to go outside!
That was most defiantly not the right decision 😂
YES! They made the right choice! Give their situation!
Never ever stay in a car during a tornado. They did the right thing in that particular situation since there were no over passes to hide under.
She would die for those dogs.
So scary!
I didn’t see any tornado, wut
DUMB
Oh my God bless the couple and there pets
I really appreciate that the reporter didn't answer the question of whether they made the right decision based on whether or not their trailer survived. The right decision is to do what gives you the best chances, not just what happens to work out for you.
You can get thrown clear of a car wreck because you weren't wearing a seatbelt. That doesn't mean you made the right decision when you chose not to wear a seatbelt. It just means you got insanely lucky.
Idk what the name of that fallacy is, but it's a common one.
Text book!!! Good job folks
In other words, they jumped into that ditch with their dogs half full of water for nothing.
A car is the absolute worse place during a tornado. Smart move.
I wonder what is the warning time, bc in think being out of the area is wherev you'd have found me
That man is a leader good work
The God of Israel is Good!😂
Very smart THANK God
THIS IS WHAT I CALL: A WORLD FULL OF STUPID PEOPLE. HOW ALIEN WILL WANT CONTACT WITH THIS GARBAGE?
I am GLAD JESUS Kept them Safe.
Love how stupid they were not to leave the area in the first place. Idiots
Idiots for staying there in the first place
