Then and Now

The storm just got worse after my last post. We have now heard that it was 10 miles wide and about 125 miles long. There were wind gusts from 60-75 mph. They really shook our motorhome. I took this picture from our door. It looks like fog, but it's really rain being blown by the wind.

Most of the vendors are in pop up tents. They couldn't withstand the wind and rain. This is all that was left of some of them the next morning. We saw one lady wringing out the balls of yarn she had for sale. We felt sorry for all of them.

What a difference a day makes. This was taken today. Same view as above, but from the top of our motorhome. This is what camping in the desert is supposed to look like.

We went shopping at The Main Event today. There are several different shopping areas, just like different strip malls in a town. Some are large and some are VERY large. There's The Big Tent, Rice Ranch, Tyson Wells, and Sam's Swapmeet.

When we got home it was actually nice enough to sit outside and do some stitching. There was a cool breeze blowing, so it was best to be out of the wind.
