Subject: RE: BS: Trailers, Balloons, Tornados, and stuff
Carol has described the situation quite well. We've both got cell phones. Carol has my voicemail at work. We can look into other contacts. The nearest cinder block to the KOA is probably the Kroger about two miles away. A tornado would have to cross a small forest to get to us. We are probably safer staying put. But we can ask the Campground people whattheir emergency plans are.

The Balloon made a forced landing. It was more of a "thump" than a crash. :D It was quite interesting watching the pilot inching the basket to dry land after touching down on the surface of the lake.
