      That was then, this is now.  On Wednesday afternoon (while few people were in the campground) there was a hell of a storm with lots of rain and high winds that rivaled the storm at last year's Convention in Indiana.  Once again almost all of the tarps and sun shelters got blown away, and half of the tents got flattened or torn.  (My tent survived nicely, although my sun shelter blew away.  Got it back mostly unscathed and still useful.  Groad Hollow shelter survived.)  Many people bolted for motels.  Today (Thursday) was an even more intense rain, but without the wind.  Should be nice tomorrow.
