Russo Steele Tent Collapse

[1969z280]

It's great that noone was seriously injured. The cars that would concern me the most are the original paint, original glass, original sheetmetal cars. The insurance companies will have a difficult time calculating the loss of an original paint car. You just can't re-restore it? R&S had asked me to bring my 4,200 mile 65 GTO ... I can't even imagine how I'd feel today. My best to everyone involved, Ed

FB Update:

"The Scottsdale Fire Marshall will not declare the auction site safe today given the continued storm activity in the area. The earliest time the consignors might be able to access their cars is Saturday morning. We will continue to post updates as new information becomes available."

What I dont understand is why someone with the auction couldnt go and at least throw a tarp over the open top convertibles. Its pretty obvious the tent is already down and not even over those cars anymore.

I will be surprised if that flies till sat morning, betting by now outside legal council is leaning hard on the Phoenix powers to be about controlling damage, everyones actions will be under a microscope in the next few days.

I have to agree with you Bud. Removal of the tent and poles should be all that's needed to deem it safe for people. Otherwise, they'd have to shut down every parking lot in town.

Why second guess the incident commander if you are not on scene and have not done a proper size up?
From my past experience as a Professional Firefighter I would assume that after ensuring that the scene is safe the next priority will be saving property.

WOW,thats awfull.
its great no one got hurt but all those poor owners that own some of those cars must be badly hurting inside.
it would kill me to have just rain upon my LS6 car. i can feel or imagine the pain watching those convertibles and hard tops being rained on for many hours and tents and poles flying around.
i really hope the best for everyone over there,it sure is going to be a nightmare for the insurance claims for companies like Hagarty Etc...
What a sickening mess to see

Can you imagine standing on the highway there looking through the fence at your convertible or roadster getting getting rained on while you can only watch. That's a nightmare!
