Storm rolled through Clarksville St. Patricks Day...we took serious damage at both our properties, including a dozen massive windows AND the roof in our historic building and...you guessed it...our brand new roof on the Old Vic.

Wow - I am so sorry to read this. That looks devastating.
All I can offer is my best wishes, all things considered.

Re: Setbacks...
Whoa. That is absolutely intense. I'm so sorry!!! Maybe a stupid question, but "freak storm damage" would be included in your home insurance coverage, right?!

Re: Setbacks...
Im sorry to hear of your mess. You must be tired, stressed and worried of the cost and work ahead. I hope it goes well in coming months of restoration. I have never seen clouds quite like that, it almost looks like a space ship.

The Old Vic's roof should be covered.
There is no hazard insurance on the Cupola Building.

Re: Setbacks...
Gezzzz Daniel, I realy don't know what to say other than sorry to see it happen. It is never a good thing. I certainly hope you can recover with minimal effort, I know the money will be an issue for a long time to come.
With out making light of your situation, I had to chuckle at your resilience and attitude when you made the comment about dreaming of water falls, and only having to have a pee. Also, on Cupula arts building, every thing seems to have failed exept your shingle work on the Cupula. Once again I am truly sorry to this this happen to you (and I'm sure a lot of folks) down there.
