    Default Tornado at Roebling

    Just got a note from Flag Chief Art Corbitt and he states that Roebling was hit by a tornado yesterday. A fair bit of damage. One turn station gone, lots of trees gone, lots of damage from flying port-o-johns, PA system is gone, start stand damaged. Will give more details as I get them.

    As promised, here is the rest of the story as e-mailed to me: :eek:

    Hi, Art here,
    Just wanted you to be informed about the tornado at Roebling Thursday. There were no injuries, the damages are as follows:
    Part of roof on tower off
    Stand across form tower ripped out of ground and destroyed
    Tree down in front of Kaye & Richard's house
    Many many trees damaged by wind & lifgtning
    Turn 5 workstation is upside down & ruined
    Potalets overturned all over
    Trash cans everywhere blown by winds
    Several sections of fence crushed by limbs & portalets
    P.A. & base station gone beyond repair
    There is more, i just don't remember at this time, but it was a mess. Kaye & Richard set about getting things cleaned up and repaired. By Friday noon, they had a lot of the mess cleaned up or it was being done. The tree trimmers had a full day's work gettind rid of broken limbs.
    Just found out tower structure was damaged, may have to replace it.
    We are having our final Buccaneer event Nov 1-2. I hope you can come help & support the Time Trials event. Worker incentives are the same, and with 9 turns now, we need more workers. Please let me know either yes or no, so i can keep track of workers. I just had surgery on hand so I'll be limited in what i can do, so please come help out.
    Thanks,
    Art
