Saint Marys Tornado Update

Evidently, the same tornado touched down on the eastern edge of downtown Saint Marys before continuing north and taking out the Eagle Hammock RV Park just inside the southern edge of NSB, Kings Bay.

Both places are in shambles. The good news seems to be that the most serious injuries were broken bones and cuts. It also seems to have spared the business and historical districts but only by a few blocks.

Our personal damage amounted to several tomato and pepper plants which might recover.

I live within three miles of where the tree toppled onto a Mustang convertible in JACKSONVILLE .Killing the driver. Pretty scary stuff for sure. Glad no major injuries in St Mary’s. The late wife and I used to like to drive up there and eat at St Mary’s seafood. I was a fun day trip and beautiful run up there from Jacksonville.

Glad to hear not any severe injuries, and I hope MrsLP is feeling well today.

Glad you are okay. Thanks for checking in.

You’re not too far from my sister. She complained to me last night about the lights blinking off/on several times. I assured her that if the damage was close, they would not come back on. I suspect that JEA was busy last night and today, but I’ve seen worse weather overall.

Glad that you’re relatively unscathed (and healthy). Looks like a few things were torn up in your area. RV parks, trailer parks in general, are targets for tornadoes.

That is awful news about the Eagle Hammock RV Park and NSB, Kings Bay! Really glad there was no loss of life there, but broken bones, etc. are still bad. Prayers for all involved.

Glad to hear you and SweetiePalm made it thru Elsa mostly unscathed! And good to hear the storm missed the historical and business center of St. Marys.

Elsa just passed through our area, but it was a NothingBurther, as we are in north central CT. Just got a lot of fairly heavy rain, and now the sun is out. Elsa is battering coastal New Hampshire, Maine and the Canadian Maritimes as I type this.
