All of the Callaway cars and folks were OK We were fortunate but the 57 group which was right behind us did not do as well.

Lots of (bad) rumors, pics I am sure, made it look worse. :crazy


I was on grounds for this. Scary as heck, 57 tent was the worst it seemed, property wise

I left around 3 PM. Wow, what a "HOT" day at Carlisle!!! In Maryland the storms were pretty bad as well. Fortunate to be home a while before the rain and lightning arrived.

Our buddy Tom (Corvettes Anonymous) - MMC5, didn't have such a good time. Checked on him this morning and his tent was on the ground. He spent the morning wringing out all the great clothes, etc. that he brought. Even took all the feathers off his chicken! But Tom's okay and stuff can be replaced.
Really nice to meet you Tom. Bet that weather felt like home!

I am glad to hear that everyone I knew there fared well.

It was a fast moving quick storm.

Here is a report from a local newspaper... http://www.cumberlink.com/articles/2007/08/27/news/news547.txt

Here are some pics from after the storm...

But in the AM everything was cleaned up and the event was back as usual. Glad nobody was injured, most of the stuff looks worse that it seemed. Of course, anyone whose cars were dinged must have been very upset.
