“…Some of the worst (wind) damage hit the Comfort Suites, where a section of the roof just came off…”
“…the damage in the Waxahachie area was consistent with 80 mph straight-line winds…”
Signs all over town were destroyed, including some highway signs that were not only upside-down but also facing the wrong direction.
“Luckily, that’s the only damages there are to the hotel,†said Charity Betts, General Manager of Comfort Suites. Fortunately there were no injuries at the hotel. The roof blew off around 3:00 Monday morning, and you couldn’t find one guest who slept through all this.
Robinson’s room was right under the damaged section. “It kinda felt like the room was trembling a little bit,†said Robinson. Â
Over at Lowe’s, merchandise was strewn across the parking lot. To make matters worse, the cash registers weren’t working, so all transactions had to be done by hand.
“Everybody’s just like ‘oh my gosh, I can’t believe this happened,Ԡsaid Betts.Â
