Two rescued from RVs at Camp County marinaCAMP COUNTYā€“ Our news partner, KETK, reports that two people had to be rescued from their RVā€™s following Tuesday morningā€™s intense thunderstorms.

The dangerous wind blew cabins into campers and overturned RVā€™s at Barefoot Bay RV Park on Lake Bob Sandlin in Pittsburg.

Vaia Hernandez was one of the people entrapped in her camper. Her RV was picked up by the intense winds and flipped it over on its side. A tree fell on her truck, leaving both properties a total loss.

ā€œI donā€™t think you can repair this, I kind of donā€™t want to bother with it, I donā€™t want to look at it anymore, itā€™s just itā€™s traumatizing,ā€ Hernandez said.

Hernandez said the camper flipped over around 7:00 a.m. while she was in the bathroom. When the camper tipped over, her glass shower door shattered, leaving her trapped. She began to scream for help and a local firefighter rescued her and her dogs. Hernandez was taken to the hospital where she was checked out by medical professionals and diagnosed with only minor injuries.

Camp County chief deputy Thomas Cravey was nearby and was the first to arrive at the property. First responders rescued another person trapped in a separate camper. Officials said the person was taken to the hospital with broken ribs.

ā€œIt was chaotic, but we had a lot of people, and they knew what to do, and they went right to work,ā€ Cravey said.

Community members who stopped by the marina said they are making it their mission to be there for the ones who lost everything, like Hernandez.
