I did peer out the cab over window a couple times, that was useless in the pitch black night. the morning came and we found out there was gusts over 70mph. one tree fell in an empty site. we suffered no damage or problems. the tenters next to our site...they looked like the walking dead. they had to abandon their tent and move to the minivan they had. it was apparent they had a terrible night. I slowly drank my coffee watching them shuffle around and pick up the pieces in their camp site. I feared to ask them if they needed help...walking dead (zombies)...they frighten me.
