Severe winds here today. Blew my tractor shed away. Pulled most post out of ground and sheared off the others. Roof still intact for most part. Tractors had little to no damage. Nobody hurt , could be worse. Got to get them under roof as soon as I can. Tracy

glad y'all are alright, it was a hell of a storm! They clocked 80+ winds just South of us, glad it was daytime, wouldn't have liked that at night!

Hope you find shed space. And here I thought our 45 mile per hour winds were tough one day last week.

Sorry to hear of your loss too.

Got any pictures? How big of a shed?

Any chance of picking roof back up and set it on new poles using some tella-handlers or a big crane?

Good Luck.

Called Diaphragming per the guys that build them here. Local said to inspect the trusses if used really close, tend to get torn up pretty bad when happens.

This was one I built in 2006. The roof came off attached with all but one post. It was still tough to get apart and off and away from another shed it landed on. Took a chain saw and sawed through the lathing at certain points and pulled it apart with tractor. Flipped the over to get to screws to scrap it. Building was 23 ft deep and 82 foot long. I got pics but can't post them. Got to build another soon. Thanks Tracy

Tracy sorry to hear of the damage but grateful you and your family weren’t hurt.
We missed the tornados here but got 12 hrs of solid downpour.

Sorry to hear you lost a building, glad to hear equipment survived.

I've helped pickup pieces of bldg out of the fields, it's a lot of work.
