Wow! Sounds like W TX, except, we aren't having it THAT bad right now; just 30-35 at the moment with our beautiful sand. Hope the RV sitting on jacks is doing OK. If you're getting 86 mph winds you might just take a bearing, put some grease in your hand in front of it and let the wind pack it..

Hang in there, tomorrow will be better and maybe you can get your chores done.
