I do know last week when i camped it rained like heck out and all my windows were open and no rain got it. so i assume the inside should stay dry just incase i did open...arghhhhhhhh.

Yeah, I would be stressing too, but it sounds like you are ok.

Do you know if they are having wind there, as well as rain? Rain that falls straight down won't go in, but windblown rain could. Still probably not that much.

As for water damage, I would say, in the sense people usually use the term -- rotting wood and stuff -- no. Wet bedding, maybe. Moldy bedding, if it is warm and damp. But if it is warm and dry after the rain the stuff might just dry out.

I really don't think the stuff you might lose is worth the drive. The very worst case scenario, you might have to replace a mattress and bedding. But that would require a very windy pouring rain, and seems awfully unlikely. More likely, you will just need to wash your blankets with colorsafe bleach to get rid of a mild mildew odor. Or just put them in the dryer :).
