Lost my storage

Post by fast823 »

Winds came through last night and barn where 12 of my snowmobile lived came down along with a couple collector tractors. Luckily have 5 JD's in another location. Not sure yet what can all be saved.

Hopefully the bales protected some or all of it.

I damage line from those winds stretched from WY through SD and MN and into IA.

Lots of places got hit by 90 MPH plus straight line winds.

I was at our place in windom mn. Last night and it sounded like a freight train for about 2 hours this morn and in town looks like a tornado hit but when I got back to our place in mankato we must not have got near the wind cause only a few sticks in the yard not few trees like windom

Dator and 84 Liquifre live in shop loft so they fine. My 340/s, one 78 Liquifire, one 76 Cyclone a 80 sportfire and 83 Trailfire are in town shop so they lived. Got a few drug out that we could get at and they got some good damage so most will be parts sleds depending in insurance. Still have 7 or so in there and couple are smashed. Might be able to save the 83 sportfire and 83 liquifire but will see once excavator gets there and we start lifting off roof and loft. Will see if I can post a few pictures.

Here is a couple pictures. The sleds or whats left of the ones that got pulled out today.
Dad's W9 he restored for my grandpa 20 or so years ago and bought when Grandpa died.
My first tractor 2010 I bought from my father in law that was/is in line to get restored.
My 83 Liquifore.
My last Polaris Pro- X race sled is in there to but think it smashed. Not a lot of dollars but a lot of sentimental value.

The w9 is probably only thing keeping the loft from being flat on the ground

Yeah the two tractors are holding up half the barn. The 9 is a beast and tires are squatting a little. The front half is flat.
