wild weekend

Yesterday we had a HUGE wind strom. Our pits went the across the football field, across the track and THROUGH the fence. The duck tape that was on the standards was unharmed. I have not seen if there is any real damage to the pits yet. But it was a wild 10 mins in Salem Mo

We got hit pretty hard here too. I haven't looked at our pits yet. They're huge and heavy, I doubt they flew anywhere, but I would not be surprised if the wind ripped the weather cover. There were reports of 70mph wind gusts here.

I think that same storm system is headed this way. We are supposed to have severe thunderstorms this afternoon.

I once had a small tornado take my pit and deposit it a half mile away in a creek with about 10' deep banks. It took us half a day just to find it. Pulling that waterlogged thing out and patching it up was a chore. At least yours are not filled with water

I know the feeling. Last summer we purchased new mats at our high school,
$11,000 worth! A month later hurricane Katernia comes through and blew them half way down the track and against a fence. They were torn up pretty bad. We took the skins off and sent them, along with the cover, to the manufacture and they fix it free of charge. What luck. Good Luck with yours!!
