was watching barr-jack last night live and saw that storm hit, it was pretty violent watching it on TV and the R&S auction house is right up the road from there.

That is amazing. I would be sick if I had just bought a car and didn't have the insurance sorted out yet. Doh!

Did you notice the 65/66 shelby just outside the tent (camera zooms in on it) during the news footage. Owner was lucky on that one.

They're still not letting the owners in. The local coverage (I'm in Phoenix this weekend) showed a big tent pole lying lengthwise on a 65 or 66 Mustang.

On Barrett Jackson (speedtv), they interviewed the CEO of Hagerty who said they were all over it and would without hesitation pay out to their clients.

Thanks for the link Rick, several Mustangs had some serious damage, 1.5 Million might be a conservative estimate.

I just finished looking through those--that was hard to look at. I sure would be sick if any of those cars had been mine. I feel sorry for the owners.

I couldn't even finish looking at all the pics. They were hard to look at. That truck with half the fender smashed and laying on the ground. Man! I feel for the owner's, too.
