I was out there on Wednesday and Thursday shooting a new series for HD Theater at Gooding & Company. I flew back Thursday afternoon before the storm cranked up. There were severe weather warnings issued for Friday and it appears there wasn't much anyone could do to keep the tents anchored. This is an unprecedented disaster. Many of the cars which were damaged were original and unrestored. Their value is based in large part on that fact. Now, once they are repaired, they are no longer completely original. Cars which have always had their original sheet metal but were heavily damaged obviously can't be repaired without replacing body panels. Original paint jobs won't be original anymore after repairs are made. The overall value of hundreds of cars will now be affected and there isn't an insurance company in the world that can compensate for that.
