Among the storm damage calls the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office received late Monday night was one from from Elmwood Resort on Lake Mary near Alexandria about 11:40 p.m.

The caller reported cries for help coming from the camper on which the tree had fallen. Law enforcement officials arrived and found a man and woman trapped inside the camper. Alexandria firefighters help extract the victims.

The man, 72-year-old Mark Edward Bunney, was pronounced dead at the scene, authorities said.

The injured woman, 66-year-old Debra Lynn Bunney, was taken to Alomere Health hospital in Alexandria. The woman’s condition was not released. Officials say the couple lived in Miami, Arizona.
