February 21, 2006In the February 9 blog we wrote about the storm damage in this campground we are staying in. We spoke with one of the owners today about the damage. She says they had almost 500 trees come down and 80 of the trailers were damaged beyond repair as well as damage to the swimming pool and the game room. They have cleaned up most of the trees and most of the trailers except for about 10 that are owned by people who have chosen not to take care of any clean-up. She says pine forests in an area about 5 miles around here were severely damage, kind of like a tornado spawned off of the hurricane. The people were all evacuated prior to the hurricane so no one was injured. They are working very hard to get back to normal before the recreational season starts. They have a water slide and many activities for families here. Go to http://www.camplop.com/ to see the damage at this campground. We will be leaving here on Wednesday heading towards Texas. We have not made any plans but hope to check out what Rita did to the area around Lake Charles and into western Texas
