Mountain Hardwear and the Blustery Day (2007)

Which shelter would you rather be in?
...As long as those trailers don't land on you

A Veterinary Graduate Student from Boulder, WY writes,

...The wind picked up on Tuesday (last week) and rocked my trailer more than usual. I finally decided to jump ship and looked out the window to find carnage in the RV park. My trailer was unhurt along with a Mountain Hardwear tent that braved the microburst, but several trailers were totaled and several more were moved up to 15' from their original position. Most trailers lost skirting, anything left outside (including 2 ATVs), satellite dishes, etc. Luckily, nobody was hurt in the storm. The moral of the story is batten down the hatches (or buy a Mountain Hardwear tent!)
