    I went through a storm, many moons ago, with similar results. Thankfully I had brought my weather radio with me and had enough time to get to a shelter before the storm hit. There was hail, high wind and flash flooding. I don't envy your experience. You sure do have a story to tell for quite a while.

    Is that a tree coming down on the family tent? Scary.

    Oh wow. I am glad you told us in the other post that no one was hurt. Had a big limb fall out of a tree on my last ground dwelling trip and it was sticking straight up in the ground 15 ft from the tent when I woke up the next morning. Scary stuff if you are in a tent or hammock I guess.

    I'm drawn to the open country. Its where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there I always return with something new.

    It would be just my luck to finally talk the whole family into camping together, only to have something like this scare them into never wanting to ever do it again. I only hope this family takes it as adventure and not the norm.

    Thanks for the pics!
