“The camper started rocking back and forth. I got tossed around a bit in there. When I opened the camper door I realized I wasn’t flat and that the camper was tipped a bit, the awning was over the door and all my tables and stuff was tipped over on the ground,” she said. “My door wouldn’t open all the way, but I managed to get out and was tripping over all the trees that had fallen and I think that’s where I hurt myself.
