We lived through our first natural disaster here! We had planned to go on on a hike in the afternoon, but it was so hot we decided to go have a siesta in the trailer instead. Clouds were forming as we headed back, and when we were getting settled inside a storm started. The rain was quite heavy, but it didn't seem too crazy, so I was paying attention to something else for a few minutes, and when I looked outside the window again, we were in a serious flash flood situation. The retaining wall and fence at the top of our section of the campground had given way, and water was gushing over. The ground had about a foot of water covering it, and the river looked like it had about 5 minutes before it would rise over the banks. We decided we had to evacuate, and Mike carried the kids and Ned into the truck and we fled for higher ground. At the campground entrance, Mike ran in to tell them what was happening where we were, but it turned out that everyone except one person had evacuated that building already - just nobody had bothered to tell the campers below! The doors to the building were broken and inside was covered with mud and debris, the roads to the town were closed, and people that lived there said it was the worst flash flood they had seen in thirty years. We were supposed to stay there another night, but that was obvioulsy not going to work, so our next campground was kind enough to accommodate us in their overflow a day earlier.
