The storm that flooded Nashville in 2010.
We left Nashville headed to Memphis with no idea there was a storm on the way. Stopped at a popular state park on the way and was surprised to find the CG almost empty, had a perfect water front site. After a beautiful afternoon it started to rain. Spent one night in the bathroom with something like half a dozen tornado warnings, between warnings the water rose, by the end it was 3 feet from the trailer. Flooding everywhere, roads closed so there was no where to go for 3 days. Had no leaks in the hybrid but it didn't matter, everything was so damp you probably couldn't tell the difference.
Side note: we found the weather radio useless other then waking us up constantly. If you don't know the surrounding county names, as well as the one you're in, the reports mean nothing.
My thanks go out to the camp hosts who spent the night driving around in the golf cart beeping the horn every time a valid warning was in effect to herd us to the bathhouse. Got to know the other half dozen campers pretty well that night.
