Tornado Hit RV Park in Louisiana
Wow. A tornado hit the Sugar Hill RV Park in Convent, Louisiana. This underscores the importance of getting an early warning and knowing where there the storm shelter is in an RV park during a severe weather outbreak, although it looks like this was a direct hit and I wonder how one can even be safe in such a case.

From ABC News:
One of the hardest-hit areas in the Gulf Coast appeared to be a recreational vehicle park in the town of Convent, in southern Louisiana. Two people were killed there, said St. James Parish Sheriff Willy Martin, speaking on local television. Authorities were working into the early morning to look for people possibly trapped under the debris, Martin said.
Thirty-one people were taken to area hospitals and seven of them were in critical condition, he said.
"We never had anything like this; we never had this many people injured in one event, and so much destruction in one event," Martin told WVUE news. "We won't stop searching until we're satisfied we've searched every pile."
Martin said three people were still believed to be missing but efforts to account for them were hampered because authorities didn't know how many people were at the park when the storm hit or how many people were taken to hospitals in private vehicles.
