A big storm blew through here last night, with straight line winds up to 70 MPH. It was a bit scary, the RV actually was swaying just a little. Emo, of course, was terrified. The power went out, and didn't come back on until about noon today. I saw a lot of people taking refuge in the concrete bathroom/showerhouse. I watched the radar on the Blackberry. This morning, I looked everything over, and saw no damage to the RV or the Subaru. We came close, however!
A tree broke and almost came down on the car, it is still hanging on, as you can see in the first picture. The second picture is a tree that fell across the roadway right below our campsite, temporarily trapping a pop-up camper. A contractor came with a chain saw and got the tree out of the road so the camper could leave. I moved the Subaru, talking with the tree guy we don't think the "widow-maker" tree will come down on the RV. I'll be gone Wednesday morning.
It's pouring rain right now, we did get out for a drive earlier, and didn't see a whole lot of damage. The campground host said no one was hurt, and the tree fellow said this was his only call. My satellite TV went out, I had it back for a little while last night, but now it is out again. The VuQube works great, unless there are overcast skies.
The last picture shows Emo as I was looking things over and taking pictures, he wasn't sure if it was safe to come out yet. He didn't come out until we went for our drive, I stopped at the first dirt road and he peed about a quart. These storms with thunder are really more than a dog should have to put up with. He was able to work through his fears enough last night to eat dinner.
