'Think" I saw something this morning on GMA.

They were showing people leaving the fire area of Yosemite. It went by very fast, but I saw a Class C in the line with it's awning out. I hope they were stopped and not moving. Hope everyone out there is safe.

    I quickly hooked and moved our 5th wheel with ALL slides still extended due to CG Flooding
    Water was up to my ankles when I started unhooking electrical/sewer
    By the time I got 5vr nose raised, truck backup under pin and 5vr hitched water was almost to my knees ---just below the door sill.

    Yup, you got to do what you got to do.

  • You did see it... The Class C first appears at 00:24 in the video. The awning looks badly damaged though, so I suspect they weren't able to stow it. Or it was damaged because they didn't have time to stow it.

  • On my local news it showed a film clip and indeed it was a Class C going down the road with a shredded awning with the arms still extended. So sad whats happening out there. Didn't look like there was much time to think about anything but getting the heck out.
