I'll be going out to the field this Wednesday to have the porta pottie serviced. At that time I'll assess the damage at the field. Guaranteed the pilot stations and cones are somewhere in the woods. I'm hoping the wooden shed is upright and porta pottie still attached. the metal shed should be OK as it is heavy enough to possibly survive the wind. I have already been told to take a chain saw with me as trees have been seen down across MacDonald beach road.
I'll update all Wednesday night.

OK, we fared not too bad!! Buildings didn't get a scratch. Porta pottie was leaning at 45 degs but did not spill a drop. BUT Tables took a A$$ kicking. one of the new tables was found 600-700 yds down the short runway with a broken 2x4. other red tables joined it and are just about written off. of the 6 red tables one might be called 'ok' to be able to use. Cones were off in the far distance down the short runway and were easy to pickup and drive back. the wind sock pole I didn't find until the very end and it was standing pretty up against the chain link fence at the end of the short runway.800+ yds away. There are cracks in the 2x4s of the new tables and splits but all in all we got off lucky.
Photos to follow after supper tonight as it is my turn to cook.

Third pic I circled distance tables and the Hobby King windsock pole they are very hard to see but the pic does give to the idea of just how far things were blown.
Fifth pic shows everything after I got them back into their spots. Not exactly setup for flying but everything is accounted for.
