looked like a 63 plymouth with the roof bashed in. not a pretty sight.

Thats a shame... all those gorgeous cars getting tore
up like that

God that is terrible...wonder who takes the hit on the damage My guess is the vehicle owners....that is so sad

I was at that auction 2 years ago. They must have had some serious weather come through to tear that tent up. I'll check with my buddy in AZ. What a shame

Imagine having just bought one of those vehicles and not having it insured yet! The seller would likely tell you to screw off otherwise his rates would go up - if not, his insurer certainly would. You likely couldn't sue the auction or tent company since it was for the most part "an act of God"!

This brings back painful memories. In July 08 a tornado hit my place. I lost 138 feet of my 160' pole barn. The storm literally tore the length loose, lifted it in the air and spun it apart, taking the second story of the old barn with it.

While trying to collect myself and assess damage, a news helicoptor flies over and hovers there for a good 10 minutes filming. I was so damn mad; felt like my privacy was being violated. All I could think of was 'great, now every crook in the area will come out of the woodwork'.

All in all I was very lucky, but I still vividly recall the sick feeling in the stomach when I got the call at work telling me 'the pole barn is gone'.

you'd think the event would have some sort of insurance?
