The Great Tent Takeoff

Two adventurous campers learned the hard way that pitching a tent in a gusty location can be a soaring experience. There, by a triangular rock and two parked cars, an outdoor shelter seemed to transform into a wild kite, lifting one swim-suit-clad camper off the ground. Ah, the perils of underestimating the wind’s mighty force!

If you fancy keeping your feet on the ground, you might consider avoiding certain windy hotspots in the United States. Nebraska, Kansas, and their blustery neighbors are notorious for their tent-tugging breezes. As for a more stable outdoor experience? Mississippi, Florida, and Kentucky might just be the perfect destinations for a more secure stay.
