GmanFan 21 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 The Weather Chanel reported damage to buildings in "Taiswell County". Anyone know where? Lots of trees down. Power out in many places. Many signs down including Hardees. The roof over the playground at McDonalds completely blown off and laying in the parking lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Account 5,203 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 At 6:00 WVVA said 4400 homes were without power in Tazewell County. That's a pretty large number, right at 1/3 of the county if memory serves me right. I've measured about 8 inches off my front doorstep here in PA, though "officially" it's only 6.5. The worst is yet to come: another 9-15 more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 The roof over the playground at McDonalds completely blown off and laying in the parking lot. If you are talking about the one in Bluefield, VA, we took it off two weeks ago after the wind from the Christmas storm broke it loose from the foundation.

BigD4VT 11 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 GREAT! Now we can get rid of that Playland too...will help on our liability insurance costs...Mother Nature has really done us some favors this winter...that makes three... A few years ago, when they were building the new McDonald's in Richlands, my nephew and I would drive by and he would try to predict where they would put the playland... Well when it opened there was no playland and his heart was broken. He loved McDonald's because of the playland (half the time he didn't even eat his food). McDonald's was built by kids! And now that the kids are being left out I hope they all blow away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the maintenance costs and liability issues with the Playlands, more and more McD owners are getting rid of them...its not just us.
