Default Damaging winds at Moose lake

Looks like the wind is causing some damage in the bush around Moose Lake.
Also looks like the trappers in the area are going to have some trails to clear.

Kind of like a tornado path yes. Only thing missing to confirm it, is the twisted tree trunks snapped off. And yes you can really see how the tree was twisted before it snapped.

The way the path was cut looks like a microburst. Exactly the way it looked at Calling Lake campground several years back.
