Last night was one of the few times I can say that I honestly
feared for my life. The thunderstorm
carried on for over 5 hours—for 1 of which the lightning was so intense that it
was like a strobe light. It wasn’t the
light that terrified me, it was what I couldn’t see. The thunder boomed and lingered so long that
it sounded like a freight train—a noise associated with tornadoes. Thankfully the tornado watch never escalated
and we just got an insane light show. A
big thanks to the camp hosts who came and warned us about the storm; without
any phone or internet service we would have been blindsided by it. Thanks to them we were able to move our camp
to a marginally safer area. Thank you!
As for today we did more work on the bike trail. Another thunderstorm rolled in while we were
out, but I heard it coming from miles away and warned my team well in advance. Even with the rain delay we finished the
portion of the path that we were assigned.
Go team! Bad news is poison ivy
is EVERYWHERE. I just applied some
Technu to be safe. Hope everyone is safe
and sound. Good night all!
