OUCH!!!
We had one hell of a storm pass through last night!
I was at home listening to my scanner (in the dark - no power ) when I heard a call come in about power lines down and debris in the road. After a few moments they said the general location and I couldn't believe it! It was my friends shop where I have my Jeep body and other things!
I called him and he hauled <-BAD WORD-> down there! The roof had been pealed completely off (40' x 80') and then blown up on top of a bridge that was next to it! The power pole with the transformer had been snapped about 6' above the ground! What a mess... The inside of the shop is soaked and stuff is every where.
It also took my Jeep body and blew it about 20'. Thankfully I have not yet uncrated it so it looks like there was no damage.
About the only good thing about last night is that the roof was leaking anyway, now insurance will pay for a new one!
And, the shop next door is a roofing company, they were nice enough to come out with their fork lift and help shore up the building as well as tarp the whole thing! Gotta love small town's and the small town mentality!
