STORM STRUCK: When Supercharged Winds Slammed Northwest MichiganIt 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, a Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore that is, said one official, unrecognizable, and a cleanup that could take years.A UNIQUE, CROWD-SOURCED BOOK FROM THE COMMUNITYFollowing a social media blast by Mission Point Press, over 70 local or visiting photographers submitted their visions of the storm, resulting in well over 300 photos from Leelanau County, Traverse City, Old Mission Peninsula, Acme, Williamsburg, Alden, Frankfort, Mackinaw, Kalkaska and Antrim County.Mission Point Press, a Traverse City publisher, will release a book on Sept. 27, 2015, chronicling the historic, tragic event.

A foreword by Bob Sutherland, founder of Cherry Republic. Mapped details of the path it followed.

Stories of the people affected - their heroics and the swift response to repair the damage.

La condizione fondamentale dell'uomo è il sonno. L'uomo è addormentato, la sua coscienza è ipnotizzata, confusa. Egli non sa chi è, non sa perché agisce; è una specie di macchina, un automa, cui tutto "succede". Non ha il minimo controllo sui propri pensieri, sulle proprie emozioni, sulla propria immaginazione, sulla propria attenzione; crede di amare, di desiderare, di odiare, di volere, ma non conosce mai le vere motivazioni di questi impulsi che compaiono e scompaiono come meteore. Dice "io sono, "io faccio", "io voglio", credendo di avere davvero un ego unitario, mentre è frammentario in una moltitudine di centri che di volta in volta lo dominano. Si illude di avere coscienza di sé, ma non può svegliarsi da sé, può soltanto sognare di svegliarsi. Pensa di poter governare la propria vita, ma è una marionetta diretta da forze che ignora. Trascorre l'intera esistenza nel sonno e muore nel sonno; passa tutto il tempo in un mondo soggettivo cui non può sfuggire. Non è in grado di distinguere il reale dall'immaginario. Spreca le proprie energie inseguendo cose superflue e solo qualche volta si rende conto che non è soddisfatto, che la vita gli sfugge, che sta sciupando l'occasione che gli è stata offerta.
