Monday camp registration started at 1:00. At approximately 1:15, “the storm” moved into camp. Just minutes later we watched out the chapel windows as the rain turned horizontal, and trees started falling. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but there was more tree damage than any of us could imagine.
Every year we have a few rough storms, but this was the worst in our history. It left us without running water or power for 7-8 hours and uprooted some of our largest trees. Immediately, the staff sprung into action, working long hours to clear the grounds of dangerous limbs and trees blocking roads and sidewalks. Our flagpole was bent in half. Cabins were flooded from the rain. Though we’re not finished, camp goes on. Pray for us as we try to repair and clean up camp without sacrificing our ministry to students.
Here are some more pictures from the storm.
WOW! That is so crazy. When I was and RA at KU there was a microburst. They had to shut down the school for 2 days. I'm glad that everyone is ok. I'll see you at the end of next week!
