I hope that the original paint cars are ok....not that I don't feel for the guy's with restored cars (cause I do).... but the original paint cars are not replaceable..... I really hope it's not as bad as it looks.

my heart go's out to all you guys...

Much, much worse than I ever imagined. I see that the best surviving example of an aluminum front end '62 SD 421 Catalina was there. The white one. I hope it survived. There's something that hits home for everyone there in that disaster.

makes your stomach sick, can't even image how the owners feel. I certainly hope the insurance companies are stepping up to the plate. The ones that do get fixed, the right shop doing the work will make all the difference. If the repair shop takes a short cut fixing it, then there is diminished value. And the owner loses again. Some of them will prove difficult to fix.

Way worse than I would have thought! My heart goes out to all who have experienced loss in this chain of events. I just hope the insurance works out for those owners with coverage and I certainly feel for those that may not have adequate coverage.

The blue Judge and the black Trans Am belong to my brothers' boss.... I'm sure he's worked on both of them. Very hard to watch!

Those pictures are horrible. I am sure glad no one was under/near the tents.

I can't imagine how I would feel if that happened to me but it sure makes me sick to my stomach...that's for sure.

Those 2 Superbirds got Hammered.! and that Mr Norms Hemi Cuda Conv really took it on the chin, what a chain of events. I am sure Reggie Jackson can relate to this feeling when his storage facility burned
