I just returned home after only one day at the 2015 Central National Meet of the Early For V8 Club of America. Sunday evening straight line winds and area tornadoes struck at the Meet in Brainerd, Minnesota. Luckily no one was injured but several cars were damaged, one probably "totaled". We were told by the Resort officials that power would probably not be restored for a week, the Resort is closing and to make your way out as soon as the downed power lines and trees can be removed. Too bad as earlier in the evening the week ahead appeared to be filled with fun and entertainment. Heartbeaking for the Host Twin Cities Regional Group and their leaders!

That is a shame, thankfully, as you said, no one was hurt.

I'm only 20 miles north of there, and I had no Idea of the damage until I watched the news right now. It may be a little late, but I have a shop with tools etc. up here; I also have a pickup and a Featherlight open trailer. If anyone needs anything, they can contact me here, or at (952) 807-5709. I'm just glad no one got hurt.
