Oh my what a time you are having. But just think of the stories you’ll be able to tell. You’ll be an inspiration to someone else who may not have been through the same things yet. And I still love your positive attitude in spite of it all. I know it is not fun breaking Camp setting back up each time. It’s exhausting. I hope the dinner with the gentleman who offered dinner. I’m glad someone is trying to help since you’ve had such a time. And lol Bill @ ‘are we living’. Sounds like the beginnings of Camp fire stories
I'll never forget hearing about people drowning in flash flooding in a campground in Kentucky a few years back. I thought how terrible to get trapped like that. I had never considered it happening. Glad your safe.
Wow, what a bummer to go through all of that, but glad you found a place. For a moment, I thought you called his motorhome a motor pickle 😅. Then you said motorcycle a moment later.
Bill and Deb, we are a hour south of Poplar Bluff in AR if you need ANYTHING just let us know. We were going to try and come up to Big Springs and see if you needed anything 😩
We just got power back in lost bridge south today. The camphor spots for north have power but 1 through 34 are still without power. Just glad to have water again. Nwa is such a mess still
We’re in PA and I thought a tornado was coming through here the other day it was super windy and the skies were black but thank goodness it was over in about an hour. We have dead trees still standing and was afraid of them coming down on the house, we have someone coming to take them down but they didn’t get here yet 🫣🤦♀️🌪️ we’ll safe travels and keep Delilah off that highway!

I’m from FL so I’m used to the world getting turned on its rear because of violent weather. From hurricane Bonnie in the 60s, 3 hurricanes in 2 months in 04…wish I could’ve had solar power and a generator during those times. Sorry you had to go into scramble mode. It is what it is. You pay a price to have a lot of good weather in the south.
I love your videos! I am just starting to design and decide what I want to by. I am leaning towards a 6x12. Please tell me if 2400 lb single axle will be ok to put on trailer. Thank you😊
A typical 6×12 will weigh around 1200 pounds before you start your build. It all depends on how much weight your build will add plus whatever you carry (food, cooking utensils etc). Typically, a 6×12 will come with a 3500 pound axle. However, even though it may come equipped with a 3500 pound axle, it will be rated at 2900 pounds gross vehicle weight (total of trailer weight and gear) if it does not have brakes. Of course, we personally feel trailer brakes are a necessity regardless. 😁
So lucky you could move on away from this mess and heartache it left behind. I wanted to but had to much damage and family that was affected from the tornado. It wasn’t just Rogers it was several towns and country side from east of Tulsa to all the way to Rogers and I’m at Oklahoma/ Arkansas border.. Almost lot two family members that trapped in the tornado blew it down on them,where people couldn’t get to them for hrs because trees were down everywhere.. God was watching over no doubt.
NW Arkansas is so sad. Our kids are dealing the best they can. We live full time in our tiny house, and could not help them much. And we had no place in the area to stay.
Glad you found a good spot. Big Springs acted unprofessional kicking people out on such short notice. I could see that short of notice if there was a tornado forecast, but why couldn't the ranger just say out by noon the next day? The campground did look nice.
I like to cook for groups its just easier and honestly you can make some friends that way. Sounds like they were telling you to pack up and go they just weren't expecting you to be prepared to actually ride it out or to have all the systems to ride it out. Some times life is a rollercoaster.
