Default Storm Damage

Meant to post this earlier in the week but have been busy. We had one of the nastiest storms pass through our area Monday and phew, it was a nasty one. We had straight line winds come through work in excess of 100-110mph+ and just a few miles away, the beginning of what would be along line of tornados touched down. It was pretty hairy for a while but everyone pulled through alright. We did lose our shed (which yes was anchored to the ground). We found pieces spread across our retention ponds and as far as about 3 houses down/away. Tossed our grill like it was nothing and shot the propane tank a good 50 yards. We also had a gutter downspout cleaned ripped off the side of the building. Below are a few pics of the damage and cleanup. The 2284 got called into action to help pick up the damage, and gotta say she did very well. I do have to admit though, pulling the trailer though the wet, muddy, hilly, standing water ground was a bit fun Anywho, here are a few pics as well as an aerial view showing trees that were uprooted and where we pulled pieces of the shed from. Let's hope we don't have to do this again soon but weather looks to be stormy/rainy for the next week so cross your fingers for us!

Holy crap... looks like you guys had a nasty one! Glad everyone is good and no injuries.

Bet those lug's were nice to have dragging that trailer!

We've had all those storms here also. Small tornado in the area as well. Not as much damage but a lot of water. My shop in town flooded the other night.... never like this. I've had water in it several times, but this time the office flooded..... like really flooded. Hoping the PC made it. It was on the floor.

Thankful that everyone is alright!!! Those winds are merciless and can throw things around like rag dolls. I'm glad that you found a silver lining in all of that as an opportunity to get some very productive seat time in.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. Yes, we are very lucky that in a building with over 80 residents & staff on site at the time that no one was hurt. Hopefully we don't have to do this again for quite a while!

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
