I'm a little late on this post because Talladega was the first week of May. This was the worst year we have ever had at Talladega. I got there Friday night around 9pm and it was raining when I got there. This wasn't just any rain, it was a torrential down pour at times that didn't stop until 1:30pm on Saturday.
Friday night we stayed in a tent that was covered by a tarp and easy up tent. At 1:50am and 3:15am the easy up collapsed on us in the tent. It was about to collapse a third time when we got up at 6:30am that morning.
This picture actually looks good compared to how bad it really got. At one point you couldn't see any of the grass or the green washer boxes on the ground. The tent you see was not with our group, but in the middle of the night they woke up floating in about 5 inches of water in their tent and starting banging on the door of the RV's in our group. One of the RV's let them in and the guys slept in the front seats.
This was Saturday afternoon as the rain was letting up.
This is a shot of the road next to our campsite.
