Fox 13 at 9:00pm and channel 4 at 10:00.
Personally I won't be on the news, but the newscast regarding all the wind damage in North Ogden was shot in my back yard. My house and new minivan alone sustained probably $15,000 - $20,000 dollars in damage. That's not just my house. Neighbors are estimating $500,000 - $1,000,000 in property damage just in my immediate neighborhood. I'll post a couple of pics later.
I hope everybody else in the Wasatch Front area didn't get it as bad as I did.

I'm afraid that's our fault, T...Dugway sucks so bad, it created a vacumn and well, you saw the results.

Shots of some damage taken from my back yard.
Gives you an idea of the damage in the neighborhood. Fox 13 is still in front of the neighbors house to do the 9:00 news.

Let us know if you need help!!So far everything is under control. Insurance company has already sent out a contractor and put some plastic up on the roof. I lost my roof right down to the plywood sheating, one window, and two sides worth of vinyl siding. Also my minivan looks like I sanded it with 20 grit sandpaper in various places.
Thanks for the offers of help. We'll get through it.

Man that sucks. Lucky we didn't loose anything but a little sleep. We have a gravel pit right above our house and it blew sand through our bedroom window seals and onto our bed. WE woke up covered in dirt. That was about the worst of it.
Sorry to hear about your troubles Dan.

Wow Dan, sorry to hear about the damage. I'm not too far from you, but I'm sure the mature trees around our place acted as a buffer. I need a new roof so I didn't bother checking for missed shingles. A couple of snapped branches and loss of power for most of the night were about all we suffered. BTW, it ain't no fun driving my XJ (that's squirrely to begin with) in that wind. It was down right dangerous.

Let us know if you need any help.
