Last night...the family and myself went to watch my eldest son get "Tapped Out" for the Order of the Arrow.
During the campfire proceeding the ceremony....the alarm sounded for "incoming bad weather" This time it was a tornado watch and severe thunder storms.
It was dark....and the storm moved quickly....dust mostly and branches falling from trees.
It still amazes me.....these Scouts and their families....moved quickly and calmly....1/4 mile from the assembly to the dining hall.
This was roughly 900 people....
The lights went out on the way....came back on intermittently....but it was of no matter....everyone there had a flashlight.
Some of the younger Scouts were scared....and the older Scouts were there trying to calm them down.
All this movement....over varied trails....by folks of all ages....in the dark....and the only injuries...was some dust in the eyes.
Gotta love the Scouts.
That is all.
