This is more than just a workers CG. It is a big Snowbird RV park. Pictures of the RV's all destroyed are just horrific. From the videos it does look like one section of the CG was spared.

Tornado Warnings where I am at now. Storm expected to hit within the hour. Hope it lessens before it gets here.
Our prayers go out to all of our fellow RV'ers that are at Sugar Hill RV Park. - lawnspecialtiesExplorerIts supposed to hit our area in about 3-4 hours. Its all anyone's talking about.
- gboppExplorerI just saw it on the news this morning. I didn't realize what had happened.
That's terrible. It looks like many lost everything. - jody_hExplorer

- AmericalVetteExplorerI've been following this story through the evening, and saw some of the photos posted on FB. It looks like a war zone for sure, and prayers are certainly in order.
