REFLECTOR: Velocity Factory damage

[Brian Michalk]

NOTE:  Wayne Lanza sent this email.  It was too big, so I put the picture up
on the gallery.

I do not speak for Velocity but am there every day and would say
without reservation
that they can handle this latest inconvenience and are financially
sound. As far as this
being a major blow to their income stream - that is a subjective
comment!
  Find attached a photo of the service center as remodeled by Jeanne.
Not a pretty
sight to say the least. For now we are moving all services to either
our third hangar or
to our "T" hangars and expect to come back up to speed as we go next
week. We had
sustained winds of 125mph+ gusting to over 150mph for about 5 hours.
The real hit
to the hangar was probably from a tornado spawned by these winds.
  We are all digging out at the factory and our homes doing what is
necessary to get on
with our lives. Most of us have roof and some water damage that is a
real pain to deal
with. Power is coming back for many, a big deal for those of us that
have wells...

Regards to all,

P.S. No, I do not know when Bell South will get our phones up...!
