Well let's see now [8)] <br /> The first time was back when I first started in G scale on my second year into the first layout. I don't have any pictures, but we had a terrible hail storm with baseball size hail that tore everything up pretty bad. Lost some track, but most was ok because it was on concrete blocks back then. I had few buildings and I got them all inside in time. Since it was a tornado warning, I also moved all of my extra rolling stock from the garage into the basement with the rest and the locos. So I was lucky that time. <br /> <br /> Now this year. 3 hurricanes have come barreling thru here in central FL. The nice thing, you get lots of warning and everything but the track itself was brought in. I attempted to reset up again after Charlie, but then came Francis and work was halted and reversed as everything was brought back inside and stayed inside until a couple weeks after Jeanne came thru. Buildings are now back outside, but still lots of work to be done. The layout did real well other than alot of leaves and some debris on the layout, but damage was done when the building was re-roofed and one of the workers disobeyed the order from his boss to stay out of my back area and managed to crush one bridge(stepped on) and bent some track when he walked on it [:(]
