    Well I was whacked by the storm that rolled through the McGregor Area the night of July 21st! My camper is at Eagle Point Resort and myself and many others took a beating. Lets just say my camping is over for this year. I am now looking for a new camper! Does anyone know how to make a few bucks getting rid of a Salvaged Camper?

    I really hope you and the family weren’t in the camper when that happened. When limbs go through the fridge inside the camper you know things got hairy. My wife would be scarred for life!

    Wow, Limbs in the toilet as well. Nasty wind.

    I was north of Grand Rapids in an RV on Monday night and was very lucky we didn’t get the super high winds in that specific area. It was a restless night for me with the wind we had in our area, with a few branches down. As the storm moved East it looked like the winds did kick up around the Hibbing area and caused some down trees according to the weather man.

    Glad everyone is ok!

    Wow!! Glad to hear no one was hurt. That must have been some impressive wind to put a tree limb through the fridge. Hope the cleanup wasn’t too hard.
