We are still in Red Bay and like so much of the country, severe storms have come through for the last 2 days. Storms complete with hail, 60+ mph winds and torrential rain. Storms like that are scary enough in a sticks & brick but in a motorcoach it rocks & rolls to the wind and you can really hear the hail on the roof. We have been living with the slides in for 2 days, but when the sirens went off we decided it was time to take cover. At least this time we heard the sirens. They apparently went off around 4:15 this morning but we never heard them. They are very faint and they sound for maybe 30 seconds. We are use to very loud sirens that continue for several minutes. They credit the warning system in St. Louis for no deaths in the tornado that hit last week. The campground has a customer lounge that they keep open 24 hours when there is threatening weather. So, along with everyone else we walked through 6 inches of water to get to the car and then the shelter. Although there were tornado warnings, none touched down here, but 90 miles from here there were 16 deaths.
May look like a party, but it was everyone crowding into the
customer lounge/storm shelter.
Pets needed protection too...but I felt like I was
in a kennel. Although for the most part they
were well behaved.
Our part came in but now they need to re-wire the work Lazydays did. With the weather today they got behind in their scheduling so hopefully tomorrow we will get into a bay and out of Red Bay.
Take Care!
