Holy Crap! Those trailers are pretty much ruined. Dang I hate seeing that. I was going until I got delayed here in Charleston. It would have been just me and my bike. I would have been screwed!

Thanks for sharing. Glad you are ok.

I feel bad for everyone that was out there when the storm hit, mother nature can be a mean bitch at times. Anymore pics?
That is no sh## I kept trying to look out under the awning looking for a funnel clowd but every time I moved a little I would get pelted by hail it lasted 28 minutes because the wife was recording what she could peeking out the door felt like 28 hours busted every vent and sky light in the camper 15,000 damage to the toy hauler haven't got the estimate back on the truck yet man what a rush lived in the plains all my life and never went trough one of those yet hope I dint have to again

28 min of hell... The wife and I were there July 15 for three days... Wow, what a difference three weeks can make - for that matter just a day, I know...

The wife and I were just talking about some of the stretches of Highway in that part of the Co... can be several miles between off ramps... I can't even imagine riding down the highway and thinking - "man that cloud look black" then Bam... Now that would be a LONG 28 min on the side of the road and I am sure it happened to a lot of people there..

Thank God the only thing that got ruined can be replaced... Make me glad I wear full face and leathers... at least that would help some???
