rainman Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 I just saw this, it looks like the entire hail shed collapsed with several planes underneath. Terrible. Prayers to all involved. Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsxrpilot Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 It makes no sense to me that people wouldn't move their planes out of the path of the storm. There were countless pilots offering hangar space, and even offering to come down and fly the planes out themselves. Insurance will even reimburse for the costs of moving the plane out of the path of the storm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insurance will even reimburse for the costs of moving the plane out of the path of the storm. Seems like an easy way to turn something underutilized and expensive to maintain into quick cash. But then, where I grew up, some local "businessmen" regarded arson as a form of "community redevelopment." I'm just sayin' ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N9201A Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 It makes no sense to me that people wouldn't move their planes out of the path of the storm. Perhaps people were focused on getting their loved ones and home contents out of danger. As in the case of an engine out, it's the insurance company's airplane, and focus on preserving lives. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccdeuce Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 i am sure there is reason - I have a buddy that in the end couldn't take his out because he had to take a military aircraft out. We all have different responsibilities and demand for our time. For me the fastest way to evacuate is in my Mooney. No highway congestion and I care more about the plane than the car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steingar Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 My one buddy at Port Aransas had the prop off his RV. Couldn't get it back on in time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kortopates Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Very sad indeed, but lots of competing priorities of what needs saving when this happens. At least hurricanes we know are coming. I don't live in your backyard but I get the idea you really don't get warnings with tornadoes. Luckily we only have earthquakes and although feeling the ground move below you (or the bed:) ) is common, actual destruction from one is extremely rare. With the forecast for Harvey to camp out there for the next few days I hope this isn't just the beginning of damages!

RLCarter Posted August 26, 2017 Report Share Posted August 26, 2017 Spoke to a friend of mine, he is the DOM for an Air Ambulance Service based in Corpus, their fleet was moved north of Dallas, his parents house in Rockport is gone.... Not good at all for that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browncbr1 Posted September 3, 2017 Report Share Posted September 3, 2017 Yea, that would suck so bad to be years into building a sweet RV and have it wiped out just before completion. Years of hard work and dedication Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piloto Posted September 15, 2017 Report Share Posted September 15, 2017 Noticed that these hangars didn't have diagonal side trusses. Without them a structure has no rigidity. José Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
