Oakwood RV Park, Friday, July 16

We arrived at Oakwood RV Park in Clear Lake, Iowa today and part of the “check in” procedure was to inform us of the shelter in the event of a tornado warning. If we heard a siren, we should make our way to the basement of the little church located in the park. Comforting! We settled in at a very pretty campsite and sat outside to enjoy the lush green view. Our neighbors told us that, according to the news, we could expect a thunderstorm. We retracted our awning and stored the outside chairs just before the sprinkles began. As predicted, the storm came with thunder, lightning and pouring rain that continued for hours. There were no sirens and it was actually pretty exciting! I loved it!
