Re: Russo Steele Tent Collapse

wow, the potential for injury was incredible, it is amazing the poles didn't hurt anyone ... Imagine driving down the road (the 101 freeway) and having a tent come at you ... There was a confirmed tornado that touched down ~ 8:30 last night just 2 miles west of the auction site ... We were in a Tornado WATCH, 1 step up from the warning, most of the evening, the weather maps were crazy ... and they kept on cutting in with flood warnings, tornado watches, warnings, a real scary evening glad no one was hurt

Re: Russo Steele Tent Collapse
I really don't want to see what's under that tent.
 Did any of our folks have cars damaged, or do we know yet? Sad, sad situation, but I'm relieved to hear there were no serious personal injuries. For Drew and the car owners, I hope everyone's insured and the R-S group survives.

Re: Russo Steele Tent Collapse
Jacquie and Fred may have damage...along with Stefano. We have to wait and see when they will let people in...
It's still not safe...

Re: Russo Steele Tent Collapse
FB Update:
"We are still waiting on access to the site after the severe winter storm that roared through Arizona. As soon as the Fire Department let us in, and we can make it a safe environment for everyone, the car owners will be allowed in. We are optimistic we can continue with the auction this weekend."

Re: Russo Steele Tent Collapse
This certainly is heartbreaking for any enthusiast, especially the ones with cars involved. Even if a car did not get hit by a pole, the wind flapping the tent fabric against the car could cause some serious paint damage. About the only good thing here is no serious injuries.
Very sad indeed

Re: Russo Steele Tent Collapse
Phoenix channel 3 has pretty good coverage of what it looks like.
