Unfortunately there was one death where a man was crushed by a tree while he slept in his tent.
Our team ended up trying to sleep in our team bus. My tent only got wet in the corner where my cell phone was sitting. The school at the campground the next night looked like a FEMA staging area. People sleeping all over the floor and damp clothing hanging off every surface. We put up a clothes line and got stuff somewhat dry. It took days to get everything dry and catch up on sleep.
