man thats aweful.....hope noone is hurt
Hey Creekslick,
Were you on the water when that happened?
Crappie pro and I was on Greer's between Sugar Loaf and Choctaw when it hit.....we made a run for a community boat dock with an empty slip on the back side of a point that blocked most of the wind and rode it out there. We beat the storm by seconds. It was a pretty rough storm. Not only did it do damage it shut the fishing down big time. I hope no one was hurt. Was your toon At the marina Wayne?
Wow hope ever body is ok and they get thier property recovered.Quote:

My toon is at Sugar Loaf now but from the pictures I've seen my old slip was one of the one's destroyed. Glad you guy are OK.Quote:

I'm glad no one was hurt and I hope everyone had the proper insurance. Geez... what a bummer.
My mom just sent me the photos. Thats terrible what happened. Our cabin is the last one on the right til the marina. Its supposed to be ok. My neighbor's boat sunk tho. Terrible..
Man, I had no idea. What a mess. Hope everyone is okay.
Is your cabin the one that has the deck built up in the air?Quote:

We have a wooden deck w/ a circle gravel driveway on the corner of hillcreek rd and the last road on the right before the marina. I think it may be hillcreek ranch or resort rd? We are directly across from the last storage building.
We heard about the damage and my parents were up there so they drove over to see if they could still launch at the ramp this weekend. The park attendants said the ramp would be open and that the campground was full but no one was hurt.
