Surviving yet another storm

Friday night was awful! Well, first it started raining and we were watching the weather channel and seeing all the tornado's and severe storms coming across from Texas into Louisiana and on into Mississippi. Then we lost our satellite and could no longer get the up to date info. We have a weather radio for emergencies but it has not been working where we are camped. The signal is to weak. Then Josh called us about 9:30 and told us that a tornado had been spotted and was heading in our direction. Well, we got ready to head across the street to the bath house. We must have spent at least an hour to an hour and a half over there with the storm pounding all around us. The ranger came by and stopped to make sure we were alright. He told us of another exit from the park if we needed to leave and the main road was flooded. He drove around most of the night and that was a great comfort to us. It rained sideways and the bath house started to flood. Just the one side. So we moved over to the other side. Finally we were able to go back home and try to get some sleep. We found out that a tornado had hit south of us. We then had to get up early to watch Jay for the day. He was good for us and we enjoyed being with him. Today we got up and took a walk around our park. Here are some shots of the flooding here. These steps go down to the beach. At least they used to, no beach for now. This picnic table just down the road from us is under water. Glad we didn't pick that site. This is the road on the way out. The lake is not supposed to be at the road. There are roads around here that are closed due to flooding. Today the sun shone and the water was real blue. The wind was a bit brisk and it was 45 when we got up. Tonight it is supposed to get down to 40. I think we are being primed for the trip up north. LOL!!! Here is a picture as we were coming back into the park after being over with Josh. This one is for you Don. I know how upset you are at us for camping along the lake. LOL!!! This after noon we took Jay out for ice cream. He didn't eat it all but he had fun making a mess. Then shortly after we got into the truck to head back, he was asleep. So we went for a short drive. When we got back, he woke up and as Rick took him into the house, he went running over to Josh and tripped and fell and hurt his arm again. That slowed him down. He was content to sit and watch TV for awhile. Tomorrow we might play a round of golf with Jim and Donna, old friends from way back that now live in Mississippi. Hopefully, the golf course is not flooded.
