Click the Camera icon in the lower left hand of the page above this dialog box and tell the computer where to find the pic, then click to upload the picture.

Hope none of those are yours.

Storm lost about half it's oomph by the time it made it to Kalamazoo.

It was a heck of a storm. Picture a 3/4 mile wide swath 12 miles long blown almost completely flat. The north and east sides of the lake included. When the water spout went down little Glen Lake it sucked the water out 100 feet on the north side and sent a six to eight foot surge up on the south side. Pushed tritoons forward though their hoists and put them on shore. I will get more pics tomorrow as I continue to go check my customers.

I salvaged a canoe once, would that count.:D Still use it too.:joyous:

Seriously, I would come tomorrow if I could.

Great pictures you are posting, hope no one was hurt.

Would also like to see some pics of the truck / campers that flipped on the bridge.

Wow. That's incredible. You don't see that kind of flat line wind in Michigan very often.

Sorry for all of the losses.
