We saw the storm from Red Lake, Ontario. We had just completed our first WCPP trip. We could see a whopper of a storm to the south, but at the time we didn't realize just how far south it was. To be four hours north of it, and still see the tops, you knew it was huge. We were thankful we weren't in it. As we drove home, they were working on a couple of washouts in the Canuck highway, and as we drove south of Frostbite Falls, we could see tree damage along Hwy 53. It looked like they had already removed some trees that had been in the road. We didn't know what had happened until we got home and our wives filled us in on the storm. Of course, we voraciously learned all we could about it.
