We were in the middle of breaking down our day camp site, which is about 5 miles from the Metra when it hit. We could see the storm moving in as we were working, but had no idea it would turn into a major weather event. Our crew that was heading to the storage shed in a U-Haul called us and told us they were driving straight toward it coming down the hill from camp. We evactuated to the Pictograph Cave building and waited it out there for about an hour. Earlier in the week we had a huge hail storm at camp with about 117 Bear scouts that we had to deal with. You could always tell when a huge storm was coming because the ranch owner's cattle would move into our lower parking lot because there is some shelter there from the cliffs. At the caves we could see to the south that another funnel cloud was close to forming, but it never materialized. It was a beautiful storm, I wish I had my camera. I will post a picture that one of the guys from our crew took.
