We had a difficult time today with the weather. As we were packing up to leave Vicksburg, the rain started coming down hard. By the time I packed up everything outside, I was totally soaked. The weather didn't improve any as we drove southeast to Lillian, Alabama. There were flood warnings all along the route and at times I was driving around 35 mph on the Interstate. It was tough driving when hitting large puddles of water on the road. The water would throw your steering wheel in a different direction. As we got close to the campground, a weather alert sounded on our phones. A tornado warning was being issued in our vicinity. As I finally pulled into the campground, the campground host was making an announcement over the loudspeaker that a tornado warning is in effect and if you see any signs of a tornado, report to the Clubhouse. Luckily, we didn't see any tornados, but is still raining and flood warnings are still being issued.
Our campsite is really nice. We have a large site with a firepit, swing, charcoal grill, and a concrete pad with a nice picnic table. It is located on Perdido Bay, right between the Panhandle of Florida and Alabama. The campground offers a pool, a hot tub, a fishing pier and beachfront on the bay. The white sand beaches of Pensacola are just a few miles away.
