August, 2017, and Hurricane Harvey

With communications to/from Rockport almost non-existent following the devastating storm, now seems like a revival of this site might serve a useful purpose.

As we've all seen on TV, Rockport is indeed a disaster area. There's been a huge amount of damage, damage which will take years to clean up, make decisions, and rebuild.

However, this blog concentrates on Wilderness Oaks RV Resort, the neat little park immediately north of the airport. We spent seven winters there and made and still have many great friends who winter at that park.

I have few facts at this time, but here's what I believe to be facts as they have come from reliable sources ---even though these comments were published on Facebook, for the most part.

1. NO ONE was at the park when the storm hit.
2. Carol Dietrich's home was destroyed. Here are her words:
   "Thank you everyone for prayers and good vibrations. Have found out that my trailer home was destroyed but my bf park model seems to be intact with some but ok damage. Looks like he'll have a roommate for awhile. We will go down there Tuesday to assess the situation. Have heard we won't have electric for 2-3 weeks. Will probly stay with family in San Antonio. Again thanks for your thoughts."
3. Several have left their trailers there over the summer. I've seen no reports on them yet.

That's precious little information, but all of which I'm aware right now (3:40 PM Sunday, August 27)
