Yes, but I did not get to see the damage. It looks like it was not tide down properly.

Is it possible to tie down properly for a tornado? I was in DRT with MRA when a tornado flipped a van that was tried down properly and no tie down can hold the plane against that.

CE...you still living the MAC dream? How's van life? Wish I was home more, like in the FLL van.

Not tied down properly? YGBSM.

There where two more vans out there that were properly tied down and did not sustain any damage. The pilots were able to make the morning run.
 
I've got 1500 hours on the ATR and I've never seen one tied down. I see you also have ATR time. Clearly you tie them down before hitting the hotel. Perhaps you could explain the proper way.
 
um... the one that wasn't tied down was the CaraVAN.

Ok, I didn't read carefully enough... my apologies.
