Where do turkeys typically ride out a nasty weather event?

On the roost or will they spend the night on the ground when it gets severe?

They will absolutely fly down in the dark when it gets bad enough. Then re-roost afterwards.

My experience is that after it's over they aren't necessarily eager to be up at the crack of dawn. Obviously, as the day goes on, they feed, breed, etc, but it seems to me that on mornings when the world was turned upside down during the night, they start slow. That's just me, and ymmv.

On the last wild turkey science podcast it talked about a study where they had radio collared birds ride out a hurricane and they thought they roosted on the ground......All of them survived except for like two I think it was
