I don't think you're supposed to indicate when reversing into a parking spot in Australia, although people usually do, perhaps the rules vary by region?

Also, if it were real, she didn't signal. If I came around looking for a spot, I might have taken that spot assuming she'd just pulled away from it. I would have felt bad about it afterwards, but it wouldn't have been an unreasonable assumption on my part.

Of course, I probably I would have seen her reverse lights (er, is that what they're called?) and figured it out. But they must work differently in China because I'm used to them being white.

Well, the truck is a truly terrible idea (*under* the truck might be the best of bad alternatives). Perhaps we need to go down the "there ought to be a law" route and mandate that the owners of trailer communities provide a tornado shelters. They can't be that expensive to build.... a hole in the ground, some cinderblocks, some steel I-beams.

Here's a question for the experts. If, for some reason, you're stuck in your truck. Are you better off with the windows rolled down, partially down? Fully up?

My very superficial understanding leads me to suspect that if the windows are closed, you're risking the pressure differential exploding them. On the other hand, they will protect you from a lot of flying debris (to an extent) if they are closed. Maybe partially closed?

I guess when it's all said and done, it's EIA. If you live in a tornado prone part of the world, and you live in a trailer park, you should probably have some sort of plan worked out in advance regarding the best course of action.
