Repairs are done! Visited the factory in Chanute, KS early Wed, put on waiting list for drop-in repairs. "No guarantee, maybe Friday". Sure enough, call late Thurs, be here at 7:00am. Picked trailer up around 1:00, repairs done, but with 20-30 mph winds, higher gusts, went back to campground for another night. The campground here is part of the city park, electric & water hook-ups, dump station, restrooms. Cost - first 48 hours FREE, $10/nite thereafter!! Several ball fields, lake, playground, golf course next door.
We got to meet several of our neighbors last night, huddled in the Men's bathroom for some 2+ hours, as tornado sirens kept going on & off. At least 3 tornado warnings issued for the county during that time. As far as we know, only 1 confirmed tornado just west of town. We were lucky, Arkansas had 7 deaths from the same storm system. Another front came through around 2 am, lightning, thunder, RAIN, wind. Today, neighbors reported seeing a couple of cars in town with fresh HAIL damage. Soooo, tell me again why I am in Kansas Tornado Alley!
Tomorrow, we will head for Indiana, try to stay between storm systems. More later.

You should have stayed in Texas. We have gorgeous weather and no storm systems. ;-) Glad you were able to get the repairs done so quickly. Now you can get the heck out of there!!

Glad to hear you got out. A little disconcerning to get a call from your parents saying the tornado sirens are going off. What's up with that? Like I could do something!:-) By the way siblings, I did call at 11:20 my time to make sure they hadn't blown away! Looking forward to seeing you at Woodlands on the Lake!
Glad to hear about the repairs. Thankful that you are safe and on your way again! Can't wait to see you in MI!!!! It's only 4 weeks away!
yay for the repairs! boo to the tornadoes. I don't think I could have lasted that long in the restrooms.(icky!)
