When ' s the last time we ' ve had 50 points ? I bet it ' s been a while . <| sep |> That really isn ' t much . Keep working at it <| sep |> The scariest thing was a nearby tornado . The forecast had called for possible light showers , so this was really unexpected . We were camping in the Smokies Elkmont and were way back in the woods waiting for it to get dark to see the fireflies . All of a sudden the sky changed and everything had a green cast to it . Being back in the mountains the lightshadows are tricky and we couldn ' t see the sky . My husband grabbed all our crap , and I threw our son he was about 4 at the time on my back and took off running . By the time we got off the trail and back to the truck the weather was NASTY . It was hailing and trees were falling . The path near the back of the campground was supposed to be oneway , but it was blocked by a fallen tree . We eventually got back to our campsite and stayed in the truck until the storm let up enough to pack up the site . The tent was flooded all our stuff was a mess ! Some of the sturdier campers in the campground were losing pieces . The roll out porches were twisted all to hell . It ' s scary to be stuck in that kind of weather with nowhere sturdy to go ! We ended up heading home that night . We live close by . Turns out about 15 miles away in Pigeon Forge a tornado had come through and ripped the roof off one of the hotels . Then about 3 years later we were stuck in another bad storm on Hunting Island and had to spend the night in the truck . We haven ' t seriously tent camped since the second time .
