Headed to the storage lot last night. Some plywood, 2x4s and a few screws later. I am camping this weekend darn it! Cut a 4'x6" piece to cover the frame on each side. Made a 2x4 frame on it's side to fit in the upper window opening and screwed it to one piece. With the plywood just as big as the outer frame the 2x4's are just thick enough to not hit the window glass while setting in the opening. I put some foam weatherstripping around the outside outer frame and put the other sheet up and screwed it through to the 2x4's. Rock solid and weathertight.
Progressive is coming to meet me on Thursday to inspect it, and I'll get on the roof then and look around. Hopefully the membrane is not too bad. I don't really see any other damage to the sides though.
It's amazing....all that damage and 0 people were killed with a tornado that cut like an 80 mile path through the metro area. Mostly was a EF2 but in that area the topography changes and I think that helped, being higher. It was 1/2 mile wide at that point.
At least I can tell you that these thinks are made pretty well. It also tells me that I can now drive 170mph now. I can get there 3 times as fast and set up camp!
