> [@azndc5er](#): > > It hit the galleria pretty good, or so I heard from my boss. They are doing massive construction on the galleria. They knocked down a huge section of the mall by the parking garage to expand the mall. So im going to guess your boss saw that and thought the tornado did the damage ---

Yeah, I dipped the EVO into the Powerwash at the corner of Como Park and Transit. It started hailing so I dipped out. Sitting in the pawerwash, I enjoyed the sight of Nickel sized hail hitting everyone elses car’s. After I dipped in there, 5,000 people tried to get in there too… It was pretty NuTz! ---

I left NFB at 3:20, and didn’t get to the subway where the trailor flipped on galleria until 4:15… Damn traffic, but i did get to see the damage, it threw a bunch of stuff off a construction site into the road, and something was siting on the roof of subway. The trailor that was on the construction site was in the middle of the road, and getting dragged back by 2 tow trucks back through the broken down fence. Subway had some big random thing on the roof that was definatly no longer attached, maybe an AC unit. It was very chaotic, people were parking all over tha place and taking pictures of nothing. It was just a construction site, so it looked messy to begin with! Oh well, i got to miss nearly 3 hours of work due to the storm, and when i got back in my boss asked why i bothered to come back and let me leave. :lol: ---
