    I saw a video on the Supercub site with EV's kit plane and the silver and white one and they looked like they were in one piece.

    This video gives you some idea of how intense the storm was.

    Nasty stuff - 7 people were injured but none seriously. One report said that a number of planes were not tied down at all - I find that hard to believe. Aren't there rules?

    Looks like CC was windward of most of the wreaked planes. Hope you guys are OK.

    I called randy about noon to see if they were OK, he said they were all OK and cubcrafters were lucky and didn't lose any aircraft but did lose tent etc. He said the flight line was a disaster of wrecked aircraft. Here is a video if you havent seen it.
