VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

todd ellis · Posted: Mon Sep 06, 2010 6:40 am Post subject: THANKFULY, no t&p needed

the boys camped out over the weekend. same spot we've used for labor day weekend for 17 years. three boys slept in this tent friday night - saturday afternoon a massive oak tree fell - and crushed the tent.

the tree came down & sounded like an explosion - i ran at (for me) top speed to the tent - patting it down - yelling kids names - it was VERY scary.

Todd,

Wow! That must have been terrifying until you discovered the boys were OK. Tents you can replace.

Tent down, blood pressure UP but other than that no real harm done. From now on at most dinner/cocktail parties you hold the winning hand in terms of "...you'll never guess what" stories.

Holy crap, Todd! I'm so glad the kids were okay. Hopefully your heart rate has dropped below 200 by now.

Great Scott!! It must've been pure terror.

Thank goodness everyone was out of the way!

Jeez! I'm glad the kids are alright. I'm with Deidre, there's nothing like the smell of burning oak in the morning.

Very glad to here about no injuries. The boys’ guardian angels must have worked overtime keeping them out of the wrong place at the right time.

OMG- this is a huge flashback for me! We were camping in Canada years ago when a tornado hit. My husband was away in the car returning a canoe we'd rented and I was at the site, in the tent. A huge tree came down, just missing the tent, and the trunk landed where my volkswagon beetle would've been parked. The photos are a chilling reminder of how lucky we were. And your kids. Wow.

Holy cow! I saw the crushed-tent photo, then went looking for some text saying that everyone was okay. Not finding the latter, I could only assume that all was well after seeing all the other comments. They were truly blessed!
