I have been in contact with the factory and thankfully no employees were affected by last nights tornadoes. Quapaw which is 6 miles from the factory was hit and 2 people lost their lives.

I talked to Mike this morning in order to make an appointment on the way to ARK. He mentioned the tornadoes but didn't say anything about damage at Newell.

I left Canton, Tx last week. My brother (Dallas) reported softball size hail in Canton. At first, I was like...so glad I was not there....but on reflection....I sure would love to have a fresh paint job.

Darn it, I took a wrong turn, I've been driving around for a week now, looking for large size hail to run the coach thru. Oh well, the tornado seasons not over yet!

Just park here in OKC. The hail will come to you. I seem to get new awnings vents an ac covers each year.

Be careful what you wish for. I am concerned that large hail would do significant damage to the roof and sides of a Newell.

That hail we got at Spearfish was big enough for me.
