Hello all,
The Campground took significant damage due to the storm.  Several trailers along the front row are damaged, some beyond repair.  One of the worst ones is sitting on top of a broken water main that Tim is removing to give access for repairs to the main.  The front sand fence was damaged.  There are several sections of fence on our perimeter that are down and will need repairs.  Power is off and will likely be weeks, not days away from being restored.  Without power, septic is down.  Water is still standing all over camp especially on the north side.  The surge came very close to going in the pool.  The pool is closed until the power comes back on.  So, we have no power, water is hit and miss, no septic, no showers or restrooms, no place to put debris on the south side due to a low hanging wire on 3005, 
No overnight camping is allowed until further notice. 
The first roll off dumpster will be set on the north side on Wednesday along with two porta potties near the clubhouse. 
All the traffic lights on 61rst street are out.  Most of the fast-food places are shut down.  There re broken off power poles hanging by the wires on 3005.  As of today, the line crews are working near the State Park and going towards Camp.  There are at least 3 or 4 member power poles broken off with wires hanging. 
All of this is going to take some time to repair, likely well into August.  No generators are to be run in camp except to make repairs during the day.  Again, no overnight camping is allowed until power is completely restored.   Seven seas took a big hit too and were closed today.  So, no food or drinks from them yet.  Bring your own with you. 
More emails will go out as needed.  My power lines at home broke and were laying across my driveway until 11PM last night.  My internet just came up and my phone came back on today.  Do not pile anything along the roads.  Sand may be moved to the beach and spread out.
