Kevin,

I live three miles from Muskegon State Park. While I don't have room to
store another coach at my home, my brother, who lives within five miles
of the park, has offered to let you temporarily park your motorhome at
his home. I'm sure that you can count on a work crew of volunteers to
travel here and help out. I just stopped by at the park and saw your
Eleganza. You were very lucky to not be injured. Trees of that size have
caused fatalities when they come down on a car or truck. Right now, a
snow storm is coming in, but if at possible you should get the unit
moved from the public area it's at and get a cover over it.
