Gaylord Herald Times- The local newspaper workers will feel effects even in the in the Great Lakes .
Don and Debbie Campbell cut their fall vacation short on Sunday morning as they decided to make the 13 hour drive back to Gaylord.
With high winds and possibly 10 inches of rain , power outages, downed trees , etc. it was time to leave.
Their daughter and son in law were prepared for another Eastern storm as they fueled up their generator , loaded up on food , water and fuel in their vehicles.
Their local gas station was out of gas the morning they pulled out of the city.
Traveling west on the turnpike the Campbells started counting the convoys of rescue vehicles , power line bucket trucks, tree service bucket trucks , etc and stopped counting at 500 . A real sight to see they said. Leaving town they ran into rain for two hours , then 2 hours of dense fog through the mountains and then back into heavy rain for another 3 hours until they reached Toledo , Ohio.
With black ice possible Monday morning the Campbells kept on the driving to the safety of the little Northern Alpine Village of Gaylord.
