Thrifty Auto Shipping<\/a>, a top auto shipping\u00a0<\/a>company\u00a0in the U.S. has their corporate office in North Texas, so they were very interested in the effects of a severe tornado damaging the Canton, TX area. The Interstate 20 Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram auto dealership<\/a> in Canton was flattened during the storms over the weekend. Many autos on the interstate were allegedly toppled. Proprietor Randall Noe told NBC DFW-Channel 5 that the dealership was emptied by the general administrator around five minutes before the tornado landed. \u201cThe crew here, the general manager, asked everybody to leave and go home because sky turned green, he said, they could start hearing the howling noise,\u201d he said. \u201cThey did get out.\u201d<\/p>\n

At least four tornadoes landed in the surrounding counties, two of which exceeded winds of 140 mph, earning a \u201cstrong\u201d tornado intensity rating, the\u00a0National Weather Service said\u00a0in a statement. Several National Weather Service survey teams were deployed Monday to further assess the damage. Robert Wardell, parts and service director at All-Star Ford-Canton, said his car dealership sustained no damages while the Interstate 20 business — just up the same street — was, \u201cwiped out completely.\u201d<\/p>\n
