Tornado Warning
We had thunderstorms predicted for most of today, so we just tackled a few indoor projects. About 2:30 the weather radio went off with a Tornado Warning for our area. Several of the residents were headed to the bathroom/laundry building, so we put the slides in to protect the slide covers from the wind and walked over to join them. Not sure if there was a nearby tornado or not, but suddenly we had branches and debris flying everywhere with high winds and followed by heavy rain and close lightning. Scary for a few minutes, with branches hitting the building and flying by. The rain stopped shortly thereafter and we headed back to the motorhome. No damage to ours other than a torn up bicycle cover. Two of the campground lampposts are laying in the street, a tree is down across from us, one motorhome roof was lifted up on one side and another's awning torn off. Overall we were all pretty lucky. The power has been off since then, but we have the generator.
