Today was interesting to say the least.
We woke to torrential downpours and thunderstorms that lasted most of the morning. We decided to stay at camp rather than take the hour drive to Em and Joe's. The afternoon was actually nice. We sat outside and enjoyed the view.
Late afternoon we started hearing weather reports predicting severe weather. We came under a tornado and severe thunderstorm watch around 1800. I hit the sack around 2000 and wasn't in bed for ten minutes when the sirens and weather radio started to go off. The camp host came by and suggested we head to the bathhouse along with the other campers. The nearest town is Carthage, TN and it came under a tornado warning around 2100. The rain started and it really poured! The lightning show was spectacular. It all finally passed around 2130 and we headed back to the camper. No damage and we are fine.
We will see Em tomorrow as the weather is supposed to be nice, but this time of year in the south can be fun!
