Actually, it was the Crown List that had to be moved. The Woodman of
the World Camp at Royal, Al, received extensive damage, and will not
open again until possibly the 1st of June...they hope.
Luckily, the WOW Camp at Evergreen, AL (South of Montgomery) is
available that weekend.
The Barony of Iron Mountain (Birmingham, Al.) has had to cancel their
Event for this weekend. The Meadowbrook Camp they were to use is close
to Cullman, Al, which had 3 tornados go through their area. The road is
impassable, and every tree is down-usually on a building, including the
Dining Hall, the Bunks and the Bath House. It will have to be rebuilt,
from the Ground up.
I'm lucky-no power outage, no trees down, we still have a roof. The
worst of the tornados passed north of the house. I can't say that for
the rest of the State. Last I heard, the death toll is standing at 204,
and they have not finished the search, by a long shot. The President is
coming to visit tomorrow. That should give you an idea how bad it was
and is.
I *NEVER* want to go through that again. Ever.

Here in beautiful Berea, Kentucky, we have a lake where our back yard
used to be, but other than high winds, a lot of rain, and some glorious
thunderstorms, no big problems. In Lexington, about 30 miles to our
north, there were a couple of tornadoes, but no deaths to the best of
my knowledge.
Most of my family lives down in Birmingham, though, near Lady Helen,
and came very close to damage, but nothing was hurt except a tree
falling from a neighbor's yard into my uncle's yard. One of the
twisters went OVER one cousin's house, and one of my younger cousins
lives one street over from University Mall in Tuscaloosa, which got
flattened. Scary stuff all around, and some tragic deaths -- 200 in
Alabama alone yesterday. According to one report, this is the heaviest
April on record for tornadoes.
I understand Meridies has to move its Coronation next weekend, because
the campground it got scheduled for was flattened.
