The owners told News 6 the damage is extensive and expensive.Robert Ripley waited out the EF-2 tornado huddled inside his office with employees and a customer at Import Auto Service.“I walked out of the office and I said, ‘When did we put a skylight in and why is it raining inside the building?‘”Ripley said the strong winds blew off his bay doors and ripped off the roof.
There were pieces of insulation from the roof that stuck to cars and damaged homes and water now floods his work garage. Here's video of inside a car repair shop.
