Not us. We are camping along the river and hoping against hope that the water doesn't rise high enough to reach our campsite.
The top two pictures in the montage above are a couple of the tent sites along the road leading to the dock. As you can see, the wind has pushed enough water up the river to overrun the road and flood these sites.
The bottom two pictures are of our site. Thus far, we are in no danger from the rising water.
Tomorrow is supposed to bring more wind and some rain. I will be keeping a close eye on the water level to determine if we should stay or go. My history and experience along this river tell me we should be fine. In these times of climate change and odd weather, I will trust my gut but verify what it tells me with what I see.
How is your weekend shaping up? I hope you're having better weather than we are.

@Ronrybs As thunderstorms go, if you like them as I do, they were worth waiting for. NOT.
The first woke me up just enough to hear the rumbles and listen to the rain. The second jolted me upright in bed, and it took me a while to get back to sleep. There may have been more, but not close enough to wake me. There were still bands of storms moving through the area most of this morning.
