Subject: RE: BS: Severe Tornado Outbreak, USA
We're in a motorhome in Lexington, SC and had a sleepless night as this storm went through here, and we're still under a tornado watch. It's so scary to be 900 miles from home (CT) in a camper in a bad storm. We were also worried about friends in N. Wilkesboro, NC who are already at Merlefest (our destination) who got the advancing storm first. To make things worse, there's a train line right near the campground, and every time a train went through it blew it's whistle, making me think it was a tornado siren. And planes overhead sounding like the rumble of a tornado.

The storm is apparently advancing right across to the east coast, so we'll probably get back to New England just in time for round two.

I'm so sad for the families who weren't as lucky as us in this horrendous storm.
