Speaking of windy days, it was a bit frisky in FDR state park this past weekend, 4-5-09. After a nice Saturday of wandering around Pine Mountain and so forth, Sunday started with rain and ended with rain and tornady warnin's. The park rangers came round with the loud speakers and freaked a bunch of tent campers and others (like us) into 'runnin' fer th' hills' with a warning that a tornado in Alabama was a heddin' our way. If it 'hit' we were to run for the outhouse and hunker down. We figured (oops) that since the storm was supposed to be an hour west of our location, we'll head for the house, an hour away and come back in the morning for the TT. Well, we got about 5 miles north of Pine Mountain and the rain was so bad we had to turn around and retreat back to the campground. By the time we got back, the worst appeared to be over, a couple roads in the park flooded but no damages. The warnings on the TV faded out about midnight, so we went to bed.
