Very scary situation. I give Drew and his crew credit for clearing things out clearly and quickly.

Stefano, Mike, Dennis and I were able to clear out literally minutes before the tents cut loose.

I got caught on the 101 right next the auction, and when things let loose, debri was flying through the air, tent poles, canvas....

Everyone is OK and news reports one minor injury. Talk about lucky!

Ditto on what Kwhizz said!

I feel for all of you caught up in this situation. This year was the first in a long time I didn't have something there, just lucky. I can imagine how you feel with your baby incurring damage, especially those who just finished a restoration. No one needs this in this economy. It will be interesting to see how the various insurance companies rectify the situation. Let me know if there is anything I can do, I will be available today if needed. I have a truck, trailer and one garage stall open.

From Russo & Steele via Facebook:

"Due to the storm the fire department has taken control of the auction site. Once they allow us the ability to enter the site, the Russo and Steele crew will go in and assess the situation. We are grateful that there were no major injuries and will inform you of any status updates as soon as possible."

you just gotta feel for Drew and the whole situation.. what a lump in my throat..

i'm going to go out on a limb and say Craig wasn't at all displeased with what happened either on the *other* turf.. an announcer at BJ even made, what I consider cruel and uneccessary, reference to it on national TV...
