I went camping this weekend. It was a great trip and we were having a great nights sleep until 5am when we heard the thunder roaring we woke up all the other people on our campsite just in time to get loaded. Just as we were leaving the weather was really bad hail, 50 mile winds and funnell clouds in the horizon. It was pretty scary. But that is not all. I was following a friend out of the sight when out of the corner of my eye I see this 50 foot tree swaying. Low and behold that tree FELL and missed me by about 10-12 feet it fell in between the 2 of our trucks they got out we didn't and they never realized a tree fell.(if i would have been driving 1-2 mph faster that tree would have had made scap out of me and my truck). I was so scared. so even though we were loaded and ready to go we could not get out of the campsite. We could not find a park ranger nor anyone with a rope to move it. Finally somone went back and drove the sites to find someone with a 4 wheel drive and a chain took a few hours but now i am home safely. Thank you God...
