Popular Snowbird Park hit in Umatilla RV's destroyed

This is a very popular Snowbird RV park in Florida. I watched the live video footage on the news a few minutes ago. RV's just blown apart.:(

""Officials also reported that numerous RV's were damaged at the Old Mill Stream Mobile Home Park.""

The good news is they are pretty sure all of the Snowbird RV'ers were safe and sound in a concrete building in the park.
  • Fortunately no one was injured at Olde Mill Stream RV Resort, Umatilla, Fl. As many have said, this is an extremely nice RV resort. The Managers, Wally & Linda, along with the staff have been working endless hours and I assure you they will have this RV resort looking great again.
  • I can't speak to any other damages in the area, but I am familiar with Drifter's RV Park on the south end of Rockport. They now have electrical power, the "boil" order has been ended and they are now open for business again. I stayed there for a couple months several years ago. Very nice park and I'd definitely stay there again if in the area.
  • Very sorry to hear about the damage in Umatilla and at the RV park. We stayed at the RV park in the winter of 2012/2013 and enjoyed our stay. Very nice park and the community was friendly. I hope no one was injured of killed.
  • Sounds like Irma must have spun off one of those tornado's you talked about.

    Leesburg, Mt. Dora, and other areas I think have many more snowbirds/rv's/single wide's, but it appears the article doesn't mention any of those areas (and they are just down the road from Ol Mille.)

    Destroyed is what happened to Pioneer on Port Aransas, TX. Hopefully they (and that area) are still getting the needed support now that they are not top of the news.
