Storm Struck: When Supercharged Winds Slammed Northwest Michigan - Hardcover
HARDCOVER WITH GLOSSY INTERIOR PAGES.
It was a hundred-year storm, said some. Thin trees snapped like matchsticks; thick ones toppled, one atop another, like felled soldiers. The storm’s straight-wind blast left houses with gaping holes, thousands of residents with no power for days, and parts of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore unrecognizable.
Mission Point Press, a Traverse City publisher, presents Storm Struck: When Supercharged Winds Slammed Northwest Michigan. The book includes:
- The storm’s anatomy ... what caused it, and why it was so devastating.
- A foreword by Bob Sutherland, president of Cherry Republic.
- Mapped details of the path it followed.
- Photographs showing the storm and the impact on Leelanau, Grand Traverse and Antrim counties — and more — from more than 70 photographers.
- Stories about the resiliency of the storm’s victims (amazingly, no one died), and the heroes who emerged.
A Crowd-Sourced Book from the Community
Following a social media blast by Mission Point Press, more than 70 local or visiting photographers submitted their visions of the storm, resulting in well over 300 photographs from Leelanau County, Traverse City, Old Mission Peninsula, Acme, Williamsburg, Alden, Frankfort, and Emmet, Kalkaska and Antrim counties.
For every paperback sold, Mission Point Press will donate $1 to the Friends of Sleeping Bear Dunes for forest and trail restoration.

Review:
"The pictures are excellent but the first-person descriptions and recollections are even better. I was in the area but not as close to the center of the action as most. Only lost about 20 trees and didn't see the storm approaching. I am glad to have this record of the event."
"We were there during this storm and the writing and pictures really do a great job of describing of just how powerful and destructive this storm really was."
"My Dad absolutely loved it for his birthday present! My family lives in Michigan and has been all over the state, including the U.P. so this was a great present idea!"
