The satellite tech was able to manually point our dish and bypass the turret so we have TV. Winegard tells us that the problem is now in the turret so we are working with our warranty company to get the turret repaired. Tuesday a new cable was tried without success so a different LNB was tried, also with no success. So we were without satellite for Monday evening and boy did that feel like we were camping :-) Bob called Winegard and the most likely culprit is the cable between the LNB (low noise blocker) and the turret. When we got to our new site and raised the satellite dish we got the dreaded 'NO LNB VOLTAGE' message.

We bought a weather radio which we plan on using if we lose our internet again. The next day we read that a tornado did not touch down in Kerrville and we worked on being better prepared. The tornado warning passed as did the severe thunderstorm warning so we let the cats out of the cages. Once in the cages and with occasional cooing from us they were OK. We put JJ and Sandra in the cages and just decided to wait and see.

She did slept on the couch and did not move. Now Tiger did surprise us as she is usually the most afraid of storms. Much easier to get them in the downstairs area than from under the bed. Thankfully she did close the door because as soon as the wet carriers and the wet one carrying them came in JJ and Sandra hid. Jo is still in Keystone Cop mode so it took a while to get the door closed.

Bob decides to bring in the cat carriers so we can leave if we want to but he stands on the steps in the rain holding the cat carriers so the cats can't see them and tries to tell Jo to close the bedroom door so the cats cannot get under the bed. We also made a vow to be much better prepared the next time.īob goes out and talks to some neighbors who don't know where shelters are either and are deciding whether to run to a hotel or not. We say a quick prayer, "Lord, I wanna go to heaven, I just don't wanna go tonight". We quickly realize how badly prepared we are we don't have a weather radio and we don't know where the nearest storm shelter is but we do know there is not one here at the park. We check our phones and the storms have disrupted our internet so we can't see current radar. The power goes out then we start mumbling and running around like the Keystone Cops of old. We just stare at each other and start stuttering. So in the midst of a thunderstorm Sunday night we get an amber alert type warning separate from our weather apps screaming that a tornado has been sighted within one mile of our location. We have relied so much on the weather apps that we no longer have a weather radio. This area does get severe thunderstorms which our weather apps have helped us. As the locals would tell us after Sunday night, "we just don't get tornadoes here", "been here all my life and never had a tornado". One thing we liked about the Kerrville Texas area, and the Hill Country in general, is that there is a very low risk of tornadoes. When we were traveling through 'tornado alley' we were aware of our surroundings, whether the park has a shelter or not, etc. You would think that seasoned fulltimers would have been better prepared for what happened Sunday night, but we weren't.
