UNION COUNTY, Pa. — Words like devastating and horrifying are what campers at Sunsational Family Campground in Union County are saying to describe the aftermath of Monday's severe storm damage.
"To think that two hours prior to this, I had my two dogs in there and wife, and it was, you know, that time of day we would've been probably sitting right over there," said William Fox, who came back to his camper after Monday's severe weather.
Words like devastating and horrifying are what campers at Sunsational Family Campground in Union County are saying to describe the aftermath of Monday's severe storm damage.
"It looked like a bomb went off in the center of our campground," said campground owner Irene Geiswite.
More than two dozen trees snapped like toothpicks, Geiswite says, some destroying several porches and RVs
"Wes and his wife were here, and they got hit with a tree in the front and the back that fell down, and they came out screaming to us," said Geiswite.
For William Fox, it's the worst storm he's seen in since moving in 17 years ago.
The tree that went through his roof came down with such force that Fox says it pushed his couch through the side of his camper.
"It moved this whole thing, overturned all those trailers over. It was unreal," said Fox.
To move logs and debris, Gary Everett has been using a side-by-side that just Monday had a new roof on it.
"This tree right here fell over and landed right smack on top of this and put the roof right into the seat," said Everett.
Some homes were left worse than others. Many campers spent the day cleaning the mess.
"Whoever needs help, you just go over," said Everett. "Let's do that one now."
"I really appreciate what they do, and that's here anyway," said Fox. "Most of these people come together."
