We had a wild day yesterday. Went to Lake Michigan, Warren Dunes State Park. We expected to see dunes like the Jersey Shore, were we surprised, they are like small mountains.
Notice the size of the cars from the top.
Hiking up was quite a challenge.
She gets 10 points.
The Dunes
Lake Michigan looks like the Caribbean
It was a beautiful day 72 degree water but like the Caribbean the weather can change fast
Beach sirens were going off, the squall was coming in, everyone was directed to seek shelter
The truck was our shelter
Driving back to Bear Cave Campground, trees were down, roads were blocked all over by fallen trees. Citizens stepped in to pull trees out of the roads.
We were afraid to see what we would find at the campground.
The Dunes
Then off to the beach
We were told a small tornado hit,thank goodness we only had a small tear in the awning, and no one was hurt.
This is the second day with no electric or water, glad we have our generators.
The mom with baby and his brothers got home after all roads blocked with down trees to find her cherry tree toppled. But it missed the house! They lived without power or running water for 3 days, other than the generator keeping the freezers going. She is a trooper! I know, because I'm her mom. ;-)
