This is real bad news. I have been at GM Carlisle more than once when a freak storm has overtaken the fairgrounds. Even this year at Ford, a freaky storm hit. I have had a car damaged by a tent years ago by a wind gust. You just never know...BKH

We left yesterday (Sat) around 4 and other than being extremely hot, the weather was fine. As we drove home, I remember looking in the rearview mirrow and it was black as can be and saying to Tom, "wow, look behind us".

Lance posted on the Corvette Forum that the rumors of a death are unfounded, but there were injuries and lots of damage and one gentleman was in his Corvette when a tree came down on it causing serious injury.

My thoughts and prayers go out to anyone affected by this unfortunate situation.

The storm hit at 6:30 P.M. and lasted 20 minutes with 60 m.p.h. winds. The guy that had the limb drop on his roof is going to be OK.
