It has done nothing but rain since yesterday afternoon here in FL.  Today we 
had a severe storm, possibly a F1 tornado that came through the airport.  Many 
tent booths down, all of Zenith aircraft destroyed, two AirCams destroyed and 
about 20 homebuilts flipped over and most likely destroyed.  Numerous campers 
damaged, trees and limbs down everywhere.  On the north side of our bidg A, 
Airparts tent and ECI tent was blown away.  Jimmy Tubbs from ECI suffered a 
head injury from a flying tent pole.  WW Corvair tent was down, food tents 
down, the GEICO  ins salesman was injured also.  Bill Clapp and company are ok. 
 Bldg A which we are in shook a little during the wind and hail.  Some roof 
vents were removed an let lots of rain in.  The police declared it a disaster 
area and closed down all the blgs and did not let any other attendees in after 
4 pm.  Sun and Fun's web site will have details but I am sure you can find a 
lot more photos and info elsewhere on the web.  
Safe in FL.
