Wind Storm Damages CC Camp Buildings in Western Iowa
A severe wind storm struck western Iowa on Sunday July 24 causing extensive damage to CC Camp Buildings. The storm toppled trees damaged barracks and fences and blew a steel flagpole to the ground. Carpenter Don De Vore repaired broken panes while debris was cleared by camp staff. Wires were down and the camp lost power until Tuesday evening. An amusing moment occurred when barracks six door was ripped from its hinges and carried halfway down the hall with Murphy inside.
