Saw this and thought I'd share for those of us who miss all the excitement! (Thankfully?!)

This makes me feel better about the storm I went through this summer. Thanks for sharing it.

How NOT to set your anchors:

Dry sand holds nothing.

We were tucked away nicely at the mouth of Warm Creek when storm came through. Scared the crap out of Julie being her first LP storm.

I’ve been in some pretty bad weather at Powell, but not quite that bad. Glad everyone came thru it OK. Sq

Glad I missed it!

Warm Creek and Padre are the worst when a sudden storm hits, the only truely scary event we experienced over the years was Warm Creek. Calm as could be one minute, all heck broke loose the next.

I had one go through my neighborhood today. Blew over metal BBQ grills, took branches off the trees. Mother Nature is impressive.

These two pics really tell a big part of the Powell story. Great work, and thanks for posting.
