Fremont Lookout - Trashed by Nov Storm

Well... I am finally shocked.   I am already depressed that I can't get up to Paradise.  But I just noticed that Fremont Lookout also got it's roof torn off in the storm.   This is made worse by the fact that it underwent a substantial renovation last Summer.

This hut has metal rods holding it down to the mountain... guess they need anchors for the roof.  The pdf mentions that wind speeds reached 121 mph at Camp Muir on Nov 6.  I would crawl under a rock if I got caught in that.

The MORA site has some interesting stuff on it.
