JPL Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 All, That storm just kept heading our way. It actually missed us by 60 miles but it killed 4 people here in Va. No RV issues but 3 of the people were in a trailer. 2 adults and a 2 year old. Lesson: keep that radio and /or smart phone on all the time so any alert can be heard! Have a safe weather day.

TreyandSusan Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Also, when checking into a campground get the name of the county in which you are staying. Many weather alerts are given by county.
