Fourth of July Weekend
During the summer my family enjoys going Randall lake in Coldwater Michigan. Fourth of July weekend we always have pig roast with the whole campground. This weekend we had to move the time of the cookout earlier, because the weather forecast showed a storm coming. After the cookout, my mom and I went back to our cabin with my aunt and uncle. The whole campground was quiet and all of the trees were still. The birds were hushed and the lake was calm. We decided to play a hand of cards, but just as we got the deck out the wind started to blow. My mom, aunt, uncle, and I went into the cabin expecting rain and sure enough the rain began. About five minutes after the rain began, we heard a very loud thump. We looked out the cabin windows and we saw the first tree fall. Soon after we heard another thump. In total about 20 large tree fell down. We watched a family run out of their camper, right before a tree came down and sliced the camper in two. After the storm finally passed, we walked outside our cabin to look at the damage. Right beside our cabin a tree had fell down on the storage building and it also crushed our neighbors mini van. Miraculously, only one gentleman in our whole campground got injured. He had a mild concussion from falling during the storm and hitting his head on his trailer. I am so thankful everyone was safe in this scary event.
