    Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

    There are a LOT of pictures of the damaged cars on that link.



    Really sad. I'm hearing damages in the 3 Million dollar area.

    What a terrible thing to happen to so many cars, I hope insurance will cover the loss.

    I was there and had 3 cars consigned.
    The 1st a 32 roadster had already sold, and did receive quite a bit of damage.
    My 47 full Kustom was surrounded by severely damaged cars but didn't get a scratch on it.
    My other 32 Roadster was in the 2nd tent that went and was surrounded by damaged cars and it also survived the storm.
    It was if a halo was around my cars.
    Both did sell on Saturday and I going to get the 1 I sold and do the repairs for the new owner then ship it to him in Washington.
    Thak god for insurance.
