We headed for the lake this weekend on Thursday afternoon. It was going to be a 90 degree weekend.
We had 2 storm systems come through early Friday morning. One at 11pm on Thursday and the larger one at 2:30/3am Friday morning! There was a ton of lightening, so we had pre-planned to go to the truck and wait it out. We did get to sleep for a bit before the 2nd round came though. Again we went to the truck. This time, tons of lightning, high wind that lifted the truck and shook it, some hail. It knocked down both tents and soaked all inside. Our clothes and half of our air mattress was dry, so after the storm I was able to sleep in the tent. We had to wait till morning to dry all out. We took out everything and scooped out about 40 buckets of water from the large dark out tent. The next day we went to town and there were big huge trees knocked down all in town, boat lifts upside down. Glad we missed the worst of the storm as the park is now closed. Trees fell on the storm shelter/bathrooms and crushed the roof. We were sooo lucky! Should have drove out of the woods during the storm!
We had a really nice sunset Saturday night.
The storm!
