One other comment about $1,000,000 worth of damage.
That really isn't much when you consider the revenue generation of the Fort. Using broad numbers, it is less than 9 days of revenue.
The Fort Wiki says there are 800 campsites and 409 cabins. Using an average $100/night average across all 1209 units is $120,900 per day. 8.2 days and you are at $1,000,000.
They have likely lost more than a million in cancelled/relocated campers since last Saturday.

that wouldn't be how much they really make once you subtract for all the workers, water and electric usage, upkeep etc. but I do think you are right overall- the fort has got to be a cash cow for them at the prices they charge.
My fingers are still crossed that my stay won't be affected. My biggest concern with what Rusty reports (and thank you so much for reporting btw!) is the part about the "full" operations. If they have even one loop that takes longer to get electric restored or whatever but open the rest of the campground, how are they going to go about deciding who still gets to keep their fort reservation and who gets bumped? Just one loop down could be quite a lot of people who don't get to camp
