However, this does not make all areas exempt from thun- derstorms in the East. The end of a front in the Atlantic Ocean will extend into the Southeast and the Gulf of Mexico, allowing just enough energy to produce thunderstorms from the Carolinas to Florida and westward along the Gulf Coast to Loui- siana. In the Midwest, showers and thunderstorms will sink southward from Minnesota into Illinois, Indiana and western Michigan and Ohio.

The sky turned black and cell- phones pinged with emer- gency messages. Moments later, a fierce storm tore through a sprawling, carni- val-like campground Thurs- day, snapping dozens of trees and flipping over RVs. Two people were killed and more than two dozen were hurt, with injuries ranging from cuts to bro- ken bones, officials said. At least one person was criti- cally injured. "All hell broke loose," said Joe Colony, who has been coming to Cherrystone Family Camping & RV Re- sort campground along the Chesapeake Bay for 30 years. "We got an emer- gency message on a cell- phone and within 30 sec- onds, the thing hit and it blew down 40, 50 trees in the park." About 1,300 people were at the campground, ready- ing for a summer day of swimming pools, mini- golf, pier fishing and other activities at the 300-acre re- sort in rural Northampton County. The National Weather Service had issued a tor- nado warning for the area about 9 a.m. EDT Thursday. A team was dispatched to determine if a twister had hit. Joe Micucci said he and his wife couldn't escape in their car because hail was the size of softballs. The couple rode out the storm in their camper. "We saw at least five (campers) that were flipped over. One was completely gone and only had its wheels left," said Micucci, of Washington Township, New Jersey. Across the country in Spokane, Washington, severe thunderstorms knocked out power to more than 60,000 customers and damaged dozens of homes Wednesday. One driver suf- fered life-threatening inju- ries when a tree slammed onto his car, impaling him. Severe thunderstorms were forecast for the northern Plains on Thursday and could threaten the Deep South and mid-Atlantic. In Virginia, State Po- lice spokeswoman Corinne Geller confirmed the deaths. Eastville volunteer fire- fighter Brittney Eder said she left the campground before the full force of the storm hit. "It came in real quick," she said. "The sky turned jet black." Micucci and others were evacuated from the camp- ground to a nearby high school. He said he wasn't sure when he would be able to go back and survey the damage. Peter Glagola, spokes- man for Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital, said the hospital was treating more than two dozen pa- tients as of Thursday after- noon, most of which were in fair condition with injuries ranging from cuts to bro- ken bones. Glagola said more pa- tients were expected to be brought to the hospital, which is about 30 minutes north of the campground. One patient in critical con- dition was flown to VCU Medical Center in Rich- mond, he said. Hospitals in Virginia Beach and Norfolk had been preparing for mass casual- ties but had received just three patients, one of which was taken to a nearby chil- dren's hospital, said Sentara Healthcare spokesman Dale Gauding Coast Guard spokesman Petty Officer 3rd Class Da- vid Weydert said crews also were responding to re- ports of boats overturned in the water in the area. Good Samaritans pulled at least three people from the water, he said, though their conditions were un- known.
