It's enough to make a grown man cry. :(

Heard from family that it was a crazy storm , and they lost a few trees out there, which never happens.

Hope this isn't like a Hurrican Andrew event for Hagerty or anybody else in the specialty car insurance business. That just hurts to look.

That storm just turned those hi-dollar muscle cars into a custom car parts auction, or now for another Discovery Channel TV Restoration car show.

Contemplating the tent poles and all the guy wires, I suspect it was hard to get out without a scratch, but I am pulling for folks to have done just that. Not to mention, the wind didn't stop when it fell, so I imagine all that gear got knocked, still attached to the downed canvas. I wonder how long it took to dismantle that. The first pics I saw were aerial shots, and the tent was still down on top of the cars, suggesting that nobody could do anything until the storm was gone. Which was probably the only safe road anyway.
