<VV> Russo and Steele auction damage (NOT Barret Jackson)

[Bryan Blackwell]

I was in Phoenix last week - he storm Thursday and Friday was pretty  
severe (bear in mind where I live we get hurricane remnants), they  
said it was the strongest storm in 20 years and about 3" of rain fell  
in some areas.  The cars were under those big event canopies, which  
aren't really designed for that sort of weather, they evacuated the  
whole place when the storm arrived.  What's really bad is that storm  
is the same one that clobbered SoCal a day or so before and was well  
forecast to hit Phoenix - I may make fun of the weather folks, but  
when they say a storm of that size is bearing down, they're usually  
right.  Those cars should have been moved to more secure storage.
