Two build tents down, now.

 

[Crash Test RC]

Lots of damage here, and a lot of cleanup to do In the morning. Lots of personal tents destroyed, both build tents Down, the FT tent is down, and a bunch of vendor tents are down. So lots of cleanup to do Tomorrow

Thank the Lord nobody was injured (as far as I am Aware)

No kidding…. Hope the weather holds fast!

Yes, was anyone inside the tents?

Yes, I talked To one Guy who had the main poll fall directly on the Table he was working at. There were Others in the tents also, that is just The most notable incident I heard.

Good thing it didn't hit the guy!

 

[Mr Man]

And the planes? Were they injured!? Jk 😂

No they flew safely away! JK

Yes, it was a miracle nobody was injured.

Unfortunately yes. Hard to tell To what Extent, as they are still covered by the tents.

Too bad! I hope no really good ones were smashed!

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Like a MS jet!😬

I know that a rare discontinued b-17 was smashed, beyond that we will have to wait And see. I know several people who put their planes under the tables, which probably saved them.

What a shame, still, better than a person…

For sure!

So anyone arriving tomorrow will be directed to Edgewater. Josh is working on getting the tent company on site to get tents back up.

Everyone on site will be welcome to the Pancake breakfast that is normally just for the volunteers. That will be 8:30 Am till whenever.

Site has absorbed even more water, so getting in and out of the site is a challenge. More rain expected in the morning.

My canopy did not fare well. The spiders all survived, but are super saturated... Like my tent and sleeping bag. Will they fly??? We will try!

This is the East build tent I pictured earlier full of builds and people. Grateful everyone is unscathed.

Vendor tent was obliterated.
