State Park destruction in Michigan's UP
Thank goodness no one was hurt, but this looks bad. It got me thinking, What plans do you have for violent storms while camping? http://www.uppermichiganssource.com/content/news/Storm-damage-clean...

From personal and up-close experience..while I was working at the Shuswap Provincial Park in BC we had one of 'those'. Over 100 big cottonwoods came down, a bunch of other species and maybe another 50 left as danger trees, to be felled over the next couple days.
Yes..one trailer was demolished. No injuries, but they were inside.
There is seldom much of an advanced warning for these things, so having a plan is good as long as it doesn't include leaving. As far it goes...people stand around like turkeys, staring at the coming storm. There were probably 100 folks watching the wind and cloud roll across the lake.
In BC, the liability rests with the RV owner. There is no park liability. People are there at their own risk.
