Camp host came around one evening warning everyone to pull in awnings and put away loose stuff on campsite. Turns out that the weekend before they had a severe thunderstorm come through and many camper's awnings were destroyed, so host was being cautious. No problems, I sat in my camper with son and couple other kids watching movies while it "stormed" outside - my son, though, in his early teens decided to keep his boots on while in the camper... "just in case".
Actually, as another posted, being in our TT during a rain storm is rather cool. Sounds like popcorn popping with the rain hitting the roof!
Speaking of bath houses... my local state park had a serious incident with lightening about 10 years ago. Severe storm, people gathered under a pavilion, lightening hit pavilion, one person died many others injured. Now, in the state's wisdom, all state parks have warnings to NOT seek shelter in state park buildings. As another poster asked, well where the HECK should people go then??
