My family and I were in a hotel in Lake Placid that night. The thing I remember most about the storm was on the drive home the next day. Route 30 from Tupper Lake to Long Lake was one gigantic blowdown, with more trees down than I had seen in my entire life before the storm. Absolutely unreal. That’s it!
