This image does not even show a fourth of the number of campers, tents, pop ups, etc. that were parked across the road from me for this motorcycle race. Lots of outdoor family fun. Last night we watched the clouds moving in. According to some weather apps we were right in the middle of a severe thunderstorm. Winds predicted to be 75 m.p.h. Possible tornadoes. Rain and hail. And all of these campers with no place to go for safety if it happened. All that possible damage to equipment. All that potential injury to people. There is one church in town where people could have gone to the basement. Not that many people. I heard thunder before I went to bed, and I saw a little lightning. I am not sure who else was praying for safety for these folks, but they must have been powerful prayer warriors. We did not get a storm. Or even rain. We woke to a great day. I do not go to the races, but I have seen pictures and videos. I know they had an awesome time. Thankfully. Amen.

I'm glad there were powerful prayer warriors praying for the campers and the weather. I'm glad the weather was good.

We have had two nights now where severe damage was predicted, but it did not happen. They were safe.

We didn't get a storm either. Just some rain. There's another batch approaching. Hopefully we will just get some much needed rain.

It sounds like they were incredibly lucky with the weather. I'm glad they don't impact on you too much.

Other than the tree falling on my house last summer, not too much happens, and I am glad.

It certainly can, especially to those kinds of vehicles and structures.

So thankful you were okay! A number of campgrounds did get hit over the weekend, which is doubly sad because it’s a holiday weekend and the campgrounds were packed.
