Prayers for Sugar Hill RV Park campers
I read that 100 or so RVs were damaged in today's tornado near Convent, LA, with at least one death and multiple injuries. Keeping our camping brothers and sisters in our prayers.

Death toll raising, 3 dead, 60 taken to hospitals, 30 seriously injured. Some still not accounted for and search dogs on the scene.
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.
