    I for one would love to see the pictures.

    Ditto to both - I'm glad you came out ok and glad the tarp performed as it should have!

    Let me know which cell phone model you have and I can help you get the photos off!

    I'm drawn to the open country. Its where the world makes the most sense. When I put myself out there I always return with something new.

    That's real wind. Couple experiences in +30mph winds and I was a bit concerned. 50mph I would have been more than scared. Reinforces my feelings about Brian's high quality design and build. Good to know that a properly pitched MC DeLux Spinn can handle real winds. Wondering if you experienced any "rocking hammock" from gust created turbulence?

    I'm glad you came through the storm unhurt. I've been trying to decide which tarp to buy, your report helps a lot.

    I had worked the overnight shift that night, I can imagine the panic that must have been going on with all the families out that night. That storm kinda popped up out of no where too.
