Wow, what a freakish accident. I just can't imagine the wind velocity required to cause such a thing. Just stunning.

Our well wishes for a speedy and full recovery.

I was reading on another board that the same thing happened to someone else there a couple of days before Jason's incident, with less serious injuries.

When I think of a barrel filled with water, I think of a 50 gallon drum type barrel. If this was the case, holy moly that's some wind.

Even if not the big blue plastic 50 gallon drum, if this exact same thing happened just days before, one would think some one would go, hmm, maybe we need to secure the barrels or come up with a better idea to secure the tents.

Obviously lightening does strike twice in the same place.
