[Lowfer] Loop Gone

[Peter Barick]

All,

It's first dawn ... all's quiet now ... all's a mess here too. Last night's high winds took its toll on the area, the town and most importantly the big loop. From the rear window I watched it whip, bend and struggle with the guy ropes but winds up to 80mph cracked the 12foot upright and down she came.

Got to get out now to clean up tree limbs and other debris. Geez, almost 2 weeks of work down the drain. Only got to use it 2 days, 2 nice and calm days. Well we've already has two "100 year floods" in these parts, I can guess this was the 100 year wind storm. Ha. Very unusual, esp. this time of the year and a storm like that.
