Attendees at the 36th Annual MGNOC (Moto Guzzi National Owners Club) National Rally in Houston, Minnesota, were caught by surprise when a flash flood came through and wiped everything out.

Bikes were pushed over and carried away, people lost their stuff, and bikes were rendered inoperable. When the water subsided, everything was left in mud.
