Ouch! Mother nature strikes RV park

We've been on generator power for the past 9 hours as a storm has hit the South Haven Michigan area leaving thousands of residents and tourists without electricity.  Our little RV community at Cousins RV park was certainly in the path as it appears that straight line winds toppled a number of trees and caused at least one injury last last night.

The most serious casualty of the storm was our friend Steve whose fifth wheel took a direct hit from an eighty foot tree that caved in the roof and injured him enough to be taken to the hospital with cuts and abrasions.  The fallen tree also extended over to his neighbor coach and also caused some damage, though superficial.  Other areas of the park were strewn with debris but thankfully no one else was injured and any damage is minor.

So there is lots of work to do around here and we all will need to pitch in so will close for now.

Thanks to my generator and WiFi air card I was able to get this short notice out.  Here are a few pictures.















So folks it wasn't pretty but for the most part we're all okay and still livin' the dream.
