How Do You Learn What's Going On In Rockport?

by Keith

Well, in this case, I learned what's going on near Rockport 35 RV Park from Helen. She's not at the park at all, but is about 50 miles west of me here in Iowa!

She sent this link: http://www.caller.com/news/2012/jul/18/firefighters-scene-stationary-oil-tank-fire-near-r/
It tells of an oil-tank fire which must be just west or northwest of the park.

I checked this blog and looked at the news items in the column to the right—just below the weather and ad and links. And there was a link to an item about the same fire but from a different source.   http://www.caller.com/news/2012/jul/18/firefighters-scene-stationary-oil-tank-fire-near-r/

This one gives more and later info. The good news: the fire was out in an hour-and-a-half and no one was injured and there was no additional damage.

In the past, I took a poll and essentially no one checked those Rockport in the News links. You might find things of interest there once-in-a-while!

It's good to have Helen and others around who keep their eyes peeled for things happening around the park!
