Camping Safety and Awarness
Last weekend we started out a long weekend at Douthat SP, VA. Very nice park, Friday evening we had a severe storm blow thru 60+mph winds. Several trailers had damage after 4 hrs of wind gust and rain.
We arrived back to the campground right in the middle of the storm, trees down everywhere had to park in a open area and walk in..below are pics the next morning.
The reason for this post is to remind everyone an RV and tree's in a wind storm do not mix.... find a safer place to wait the storm out if at all possible.
We spent the rest of the storm in the restroom.
the last 2 pics are my brothers 2yr old 5th wheel after a tree fell thru it at his house the next evening. No one was in the unit when this happened but gives everyone an idea of how bad it could be.
From what I can find, luckily no one was hurt in the camp. A lot broken RV's.. they can be repaired or replaced.
Enloy the trip but be aware of weather changes and the tree's around you
