My Kitfox III, parked in the, HB Camping was spared, while an Avid in
front and a Cub next to me were wrecked. My tent was flattened.

Pete,
You are one lucky guy! Go play lotto. Seriously, we're glad to hear
you and your Kitfox are okay. Were you with the airplane when the Wx
hit?

Pete,
As I looked at the devastation in the slide shows, I couldn't help think of
the seeming randomness of the damage. It made me wonder what types of
tiedowns the survivors used and if tiedown method was a factor in who
escaped damage or was not so fortunate. What were you using and do you have
any idea what the Avid and Cub were using?

Lowell,
I saw the screw in's pull out most in the wet sandy soil. I had a
Claw. I was on hi ground. An RV was upwind from me and probably slowed
the wind down some. My gear was sprung in showing that it had lifted up
against the tiedowns. I plan to make longer spikes for my Claws.

Ditto comments focusing on gross weight. I fly a II and am building a IV. Being
almost 200 lbs myself, my passenger must be a lightweight to stay under the Model
II GW of 950#.
