My wife and I were camping at Coler in a rooftop tent. We took shelter in the Airship when the horns went off. Hunkered down in the restroom when the worst of it came through. We were trapped there for a couple of hours due to flash flooding and so many trees down. Eventually we made our way back to camp climbing through downed trees and wading through shin-high water. Luckily, we suffered no damage to our vehicle or gear. Total devastation in the park. We bugged out, back to NH, later that morning. Glad you’re ok.

I was there for bikefest and got hit by the Rogers tornado while in a camper. Gas light was on and none of the stations were operating. 2 locals helped guide me to the other side of town around all the closed roads to get to a gas station. Without them me and my daughters would have been stranded there with no way home and a without the family vehicle. What an awesome community!

Glad you’re okay, even if your truck wasn’t. It’s great that you braved the streets on your bike checking on people- you embody that great spirit that you speak of! 👍

Thanks for the tour. Was down there two weekends prior to Bike Fest. So sad to see places you recognize under a pile of ginormous trees. Thankful more casualties weren't involved and the community has really pulled together. Condolences on your ORP.

Every now and then Mother Nature reminds us who’s in charge. Glad you’re ok. I take comfort in realizing that shared struggles often bring out the best in humanity.

That was some damn good video that you captured. We experienced something like this last year, though not nearly as destructive. It was still scary.

so fricken wild man. glad you're alright. nice meeting you the day before!

Dang Steve , you got some great footage after the tornado . Sorry to see your truck was damaged in the mix. Thanks for sharing and it was great to meet you at the festival. Safe travels and hope you get things worked out with your auto insurance claim.

That's wild. Mother nature is a force not to mess with.

Great video! I had some friends out there but I wasn’t sure how bad it really was. Thanks for sharing. Good luck on your 4Runner.

We just had an EF-1 a few days before this where I live. I feel their pain. Thank you for posting this. I couldn't find anything on the status of everything down there till this. Supposed to be visiting Bentonville in 2 months. I just wanted to let you know that as long as you could start your car, you could charge your phone in your car without running the battery down.

I was there at the end of April. Bad storms and tornados close to us in Tulsa cut our trip short. Nothing like this though. Wow!

I was there at a rental on NW A street not far From Slaughter Pen. I actually woke up and watched the storm until it was over. Power went out until Tuesday night. Was kind of like camping :). The sky was lit up like a big city with constant light from lighting. The wind was insane. Next day looked worse then any of our Houston area hurricanes.

Great coverage. Glad everyone seems to be OK.

Yep tree missed the place I was staying in by a few feet as well. Great time except for that last night. Super scary.

Love the intro, great audio. So tragic glad you're safe.

Oh that was your vehicle. Jonnie from MTB Q&A messaged me that

So glad we made it out ok. And then breakfast! So sorry about your car!

Great footage. Can’t believe the rental folks trying to gouge you.

That was good footage you got showing the destruction from the storm, sorry about the 4Runner.
