Did Ringgold Dodge make it through the tornado?

[Lawrenzo]

I called to see if they made it through the one that ripped through their town, and the phone jsut rang and rang. Hopefully they are OK, but the video footage I saw on the weather channel showed a lot of devastation in the town I hope they are all safe and sound.

yikes i hope they did make it

 

[Jimbos1980]

I was thinking the same thing. Apparently the entire town of Ringgold was obliterated.

Just got a text from the service manger at Ringgold. Sounds like the store was hit pretty hard. Major damage. Everyone from the dealer is Ok.

 

[Bill Pemberton Woodhouse]

Thanks , Tom , it appears they are close to the path from the restaurants and Chevy Dealership that got hit, to the High School. Good to hear everyone is okay and what an awful tragedy for that small town -- the Fox News feed shows what looks like a war zone.

I am sure everyone will keep them in their prayers and thoughts!!!

Yep, just talked to him. Prayers for his father. His father got hurt, but is ok now. Tony is helping clean up around his dad's house.

 

[Habu]

Sorry to hear about Tony's dad getting hurt. Prayers on the way!

No I already got mine on how this dealership treated me. I've kept it off the boards.
Again I do feel sorry about what happened down there, I have 2 good friends in the area I have yet to hear from, I WISH No one any harm, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone down there but That dealership. If they want to treat people like crap I will not feel sorry for them.

 

[BlknBlu]

Our thoughts go out to all the folks who have been hit by this weather phenomenon.

That was his Facebook update this morning. I haven't talked or texted with Tony, but did leave him a voicemail earlier today. Glad to hear Mike has made contact with him and his dad is ok.

 

[eagles]

Also have had positive dealings in '03 with Ringold as Mike Robbins and his staff went out of their way to help. Very positive feelings with my "03 deal. My prayers go out to the staff hopefully they will become operational quickly.

Heard they had a 2010 Orange ACR....hope it made it too.Had a Pink Challenger for awhile too....hope it protected the ACR.

 

[JohnnyViper]

i always wonder with these types of storms how many great cars are destroyed not just vipers but the classics as well, obviously people are more important but cars can not take shelter

 

[1TONY1]

Thanks to a lot of Viper buddies that called to check on me today. Since I moved 15 miles south of Ringgold to Dalton we were fine. Mike's dealership took a lot of damage. Ringgold looks like a bomb went off. The high school and middle school will be out of service for the rest of the school year. Since it is right on I-75, lots of folks in the restaurants etc. Tons of houses damaged or "gone"
I spent the day at my Dad's house, he lost the roof and second floor walls.
There were more helicopters over Ringgold today than there are at a Nascar race !!

First two minutes are of Ringgold, some good aerial footage: Videos Posted by Chattanooga Times Free Press | Facebook

Pretty cold there sport. Not the time nor the thread to bring up something like that. Those people have just had their world literally turned upside down. Get a grip. You've been a member here since 2007 and couldn't figure out where the Vendor review threads are?

 

[JohnnyViper]

1tony1 that video of the damage is crazy

 

[Roysviper]

Thoughts and prayers...

I am glad to hear no one from Ringgold Dodge and 1Tony1 and his family made it through all that. Hope Tonys Father is doing fine and everything comes out oK once all this mess is over and behind them and the rest of the folks involved in these terrible Tornados......I will pray for you all!!!

Our thoughts and prayers are with your loved ones and friends who were in the storm Tony. We were in Andrew'***** zone in 1992 so I know how they must be feeling up there. It will take a long time for the emotional after effects to wear off. For at least two years after Andrew hit, every time the wind picked up and there was any noise outside, I got a mini anxiety reaction. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a very real thing. Your Dad will need to vent about what happened for a long time. The more he does, the sooner he will feel better. Go with G-d.
