Important Message for ORV Permit Holders from PSU

[Greg Pickel BWI staff]

From a PSU release ahead of the Auburn game:


A strong line of thunderstorms crossed through State College Wednesday afternoon. Those storms caused extensive damage and obstructions to the Overnight RV (ORV) lot, knocking down utility poles, power lines and trees, turning over portable toilets and causing other damage to the area. Power to the ORV lot is out at this time and many roadways are obstructed by utility poles and trees. Crews are working diligently to restore power as quickly as possible and crews are working to remove the debris.



In order to allow crews as much time as possible to restore power to the ORV lot and clear debris from the roadways, we have made the decision to close the ORV lot Thursday evening and move all RVs to Grange Fair Park (1 Homan Ln, Centre Hall, PA 16828) for Thursday evening with the hope of a potential Friday afternoon/evening move-in, if we are able to restore power. Those planning to arrive Thursday can show their Thursday ORV pass at the Grange Fair and will not be charged.



If you have questions regarding this weekend’s ORV Lot relocation, please email ORVlot@psu.edu.

Damn Auburn and their weather machine

Good Lord - of all the timing for something like this to happen. If anyone gets any news stories or pictures, please post them. It's really not that big of an area. Just how diligently are they working?

Party at The Grange.

Strong storm this afternoon screwed a lot of things up. Fortunately my place was just brownouts but Bellefonte was without power for a few hours and LOTS of debris on the roads.

My guess is WPP/PSU will get things sorted before Friday but they want space and time to do it without promising it will get done. Saw pics on the tubes from Orchard Road - snapped poles with lots of wires to fix.

The University seems to hate these people so much, I'd look for chainsaw marks on some of the poles.

slykens - what local station/news bunny reported? Maybe I can find it online.

FML! I haven’t been in the ORV lots for years, and my first time back after spending a shit ton of money to make it happen and this. Ugh.

What was shown to me was a second hand screenshot from a Facebook post showing the damage. I don't have the original post name, sorry.

I'd be flipping out if I were you. I can't imagine. Down here, FPL after a storm would take care of an area that size before the sun went down.

Yes it was a conspiracy! Why don't you get a posse and invade old main? SMFH you imbecile.

With the overturned toilets, it sounds like they had brownouts in the ORV lots.
