jf launier ( r'evolutions builder) said on his blog there was a tornado watch all day at barret jackson, as well as flood watches throughout the city. even the barret jackson tent was moving 5 feet in every direction through most of the day

Love them temporary shelter tents :(
Interesting how much mud was hiding in some of those concours restorations, I wonder if the insurance company pays on the last current value or the expected value in the auction catalog?
