[QUOTE="Kae3106, post: 958627, member: 27557"] On Tuesday, April 3, massive storms rolled through Texas. The Coppell payroll and accounting site saw grapefruit sized hail come down on us. The good news: Everyone is safe, the building withstood the weather, the paychecks went out on time, and the books were closed on time for March/1Q. We have a generator on site so we had power and could complete the work that had to be done. The bad news: Almost all of us will have our cars totaled. This video was shot a few hours after the storm. [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoICSXu8jZU"]Texas Tornado Storm Damage from Coppell TX - YouTube[/URL] The tragic news: One of our employees lost her car in our lot and her home to a tornado. I'm not here to solicit donations for her but if anyone is interested, PM me...we have set up a donation website for her. I have to give props to the management team at our site and all the UPSers who helped us out. We spent some time huddled in an interior hallway for safety while the storm was overhead. We heard later that one of the tornadoes formed right over us. Afterwards, everyone pitched in to help tape cars, arrange rides, etc. People came over from other sites to help with carpools. UPS arranged security for the parking lot after it was clear that most cars will have to be towed away and our controller called everyone that evening to make sure we got home safely. [/QUOTE]
