Severe weather does happen during the summer. We are notified in a number of ways for the potential for severe weather.  We receive phone calls from local law enforcement when the potential for a life-threatening storm is imminent.  All onsite permanent staff have weather apps on their smart phone and a weather radio at night.  If severe weather is predicted, our staff monitors it closely.  For tornadoes and high-wind weather events, we can seek shelter in the Lower Area Lodge, which is a large meeting space built into the side of a hill with a cement ceiling and heavy wooden drapes to cover the glass windows.
