What kind of camera do you use?? The pics you post are always awesome....:beer

it's a 2003 model Olympus C-5050 Zoom 5 Mega Pixel Digital camera. It's all complete stock with no special lens attachments or anything like that. You can't buy this camera new anymore but some great deals on ebay for the c-5050 zoom, going on often.

Same here, I want to know the same. They aren't answering calls just want to make sure nothing floated away! Any help or info would be great.

Check parkerstrip.net sometimes he has pics & vids posted He is located directly across from Riverland. I did check there a second ago and there was no update from the storm

Boy what a shitty mess. The boats in Russ's are fine. The street is a mess but I was able to pull the 32' up there and drop it in a lot. Just some piles of dirt here and there. The golf course looks like another lake in places. I took a ton of pictures but cannot post them until Thursday when my camara cord gets here. The streets are super dirty and dusty, but it looks like most of it is getting cleaned up.

If anybody needs me to check on anything let me know.

I feel sorry for the people that have trailers stored on the other side of the road from Emerald Cove, looks like lots of them out back are in water above floor level.

That's what happens when you don't come around, it's called out of the loop:eek:
Small garages on east side north of the big garages the roof blew off:smackhead
A row I didn't hear anything
B row I heard little damage
C row A OK I think
D row I didn't hear anything

My old man rode out the storm in our place across the river from Riverland. Claims this was the worst storm he's ever been through out there, which is saying alot. He's going to take some pictures from the front porch, which overlooks Riverland, tomorrow morning and I'll post them here as soon as I get them.

Thanks. We love it. The old Hallett is going on 36 years and four generations, it was time to step up to a new boat and restore the Hallett for the next few generations to come.

Riverland lost the roofs off 6 garages. And some other maybe bigger issues.

They were going to close the park, but I heard it will be open. They started calling the campers and cancelling their reservations, but I heard they are going to uncancel them now.

I'm leaving tomorrow to check my shit.

I wish they would return my calls I just want to know if my trailer got damaged. I was thinking of just driving out and getting it but if the tractor got stuck I probably cant even get it out.

Andy, if you hear anything about CastleRock or Casino Storage (next to Bransons) let me know. I called both and no answer (called after 5 so they're probably closed)

Thanks Jeff

I didn't realize what was going out there till I started reading this thread! I hope everyone's stuff is ok. Sounds like everyone is looking out for each other who's there already :thumbsup RDP peeps always come through and keep an eye out for each other!

I checked the weather and looks like the storm is suppose to continue, hopefully not as bad. We're taking off a week from Friday to stay at Buckskin... I hope the campground is still ok???? Any info please pass it on! Thanks!

Gotcha covered.

Thanks:beer

Hello all. posting from Parker..

it is not as bad as it sounds here. we have been here since 4:00 am yesterday and have been up since. But there was a blockage at the main drain THAT THE CITY SCREWED UP :swear But the water that did come in throught the garage sent a thin layer of dirt into the house but it is cleanable and thanks to the neighbors and a few fireman from here they were able to get the grate cleaned off and the water drained pretty well. we have alot of dirt outside but it is minimal,

thank you all for the concern and we should be done in a few days. :thumbsup

we are still here and if anyone still needs things checked on let us know and we would be happy to do so.

:thumbsup:thumbsup

I called your house earlier to see if you guys needed any help etc.. Left you a message.

I'm happy to hear that it's not all bad, and just some cleaning etc.. I was concerned that the house was flooded etc..

You guys staying for the weekend now?

Still a lot of water draining out of the moutains and desert. Just came back from Road Runner and there is a lot of water on the street in places and a thin layer of dry dirt from the mud clean up. It was pretty clear here tonight, not really any clouds to speak of.

Hey no problem, I'm here all week if you need anything else let me know. I'll stop by tomorrow. I'm also glad the house wasn't as bad as it could have been. Still a mess but a cleanable mess, not a remodel mess.

I haven't been up as far as CastleRock Shores. I have been by the Storage you speak of and it doesn't look bad. Just some water went through there but it doesn't appear to have any major damage from the street.

What a sad topic for my "coming out" post ....:thumbsdown

I'm just happy to see none of our close friends were hurt in the storm. I can't wait to get there and see Andy's photos. I was talking to Andy last night when this was all happening and I was just as worried at home as if I would have been there. I kept loading and reloading the Doplar radar on Weather.com since they were the only reliable source for us out-of-towners.

Very scary experience! My poor dog was scared shitless.

Charmaine - glad to hear your repairs are minimal. I would hate to see anything happen to that beautiful house!

Although this is a rare experience, I think it's a good reminder that we should have surge protectors, etc.. on those valuable items we don't want to replace (new TVs, computers, etc...) My dad's house in GA was struck by lightening once (It hit a big tree in his front yard and traveled off the tree to a huge window) and it blew the window out and shorted out every electrical item in that room (TV, stereo, lamps, etc.)

BOATCOP - - - Is there an AZ road conditions number we can call as several of us make our trips out there this weekend just to be sure the road we're planning to take is passable?
