Another update from Eric about Sun 'n Fun
Hello Bob:
Nobody hurt that I know of. Just a big thunderstorm with microbursts causing very high winds for a few minutes. The news media had it all
screwed up as usual. They reported a building had collasped trapping 70 people with tornadoes. Tornadoes suck things up into a funnel cloud and drop them far away. Here everything just got blown over in high winds. Nothing was more than three hundred feet from where it started. Pretty
wild to watch though.
Our judges trailer was undamaged and it was sitting on concrete blocks without any tiedowns. Usually they tie it down with metal straps with big nails shot into the concrete with a gun. No tiedowns this year.
Friday was business as usual. Thursday night they worked hard to get everything cleaned up and tents repaired. Friday was blue sky. By Saturday you'd never know there had been a problem. Big crowd on Saturday.
Regards, Eric

Sun 'n fun Storm Damage 3-31-11
This is a note I received last night from Eric Paul, cheif judge of war birds. They were there judging.
-=-=-=-=-==-=--=
No internet service in Lakeland yesterday thanks to the storm.
11AM storm damage from a very big thunderstorm that came and departed in about 10 minutes. About 40-50 airplanes were heavily damaged, every Port-A-Potty on the field was turned over and about 1/3 of the tents were blown away or damaged.

The DC-3 was blown backward about 300 feet dragging a small aircraft with it and both wound up in gully filled with rain water. The L-19 also was moved backwards about 300 feet into the same gully.
If you look close you'll notice the trailer office is on it's side.
Sun 'n fun was mostly Rain and Pain today.
Other than that we're have a fun time.
