Sunday night at about 6:00 an EF1 tornado touched ground and crossed the AT near Belter's Campsite at NOBO mile 1492.3.
As a result there are a substantial number of trees down in the campsite and along the trail in the area.
The campsite is officially closed as there are multiple down and hazardous trees all over the area. The trail remains 'open' but will require extreme care in navigating over and around at least a half mile of continuous downed trees.
Crews will be out as early as Wednesday (there is a tropical storm coming tomorrow!) to begin work on clearing the trail (or least a temporary path) so hikers can get by. The campsite will remain closed for weeks if not months depending on the amount of overhead hazard trees.

We lost another hiker, friend, and asset to the Appalachian Trail community on 02 August.
Known here on WhiteBlaze as Hikerhead and to the Appalachian Trail community as Hokey Pokey. He was one of the original members of WhiteBlaze. He contributed a lot to the WhiteBlaze web site in its early days.
