A fierce storm blew through Iowa this morning/afternoon, and left behind this unsightly damage in Newton, IA. More to come when/if this hits any news outlets.

Wow, at that rate won't be long before it looks like Packard's old factory. | ||

 Is this an unreinforced masonry building (I can't tell if that's a structural metal framework that was added or not, but I don't see any of the telltale signs on the exterior)?
If so, I'm amazed that a retrofit wouldn't have been required long before Maytag vacated. No business or manufacturing facility could get away with that here in earthquake territory. | ||
