The Catalina Yachts facility was hit by a hurricane today suffering severe damage. So, don't be surprised if you don't get any response to your inquiries.

The building with the major damage doesn't look big enough to be boat assembly.  I hope all of the workforce were sheltering when that hit. 

I wonder if the molds survived without damage, parts can always be reordered but major construction items take a lot longer.  We lost one of our roofs in Atlanta to a tornado, many years ago,  and the following deluge does  the damage, our spare parts were a complete mess.

From thier Facebook page:

" Tornado Update: 

All of our employees and our boats in production are fine. There has been damage to the buildings, and we will be able to fully assess the damage in the coming days.

Thank you for the thoughts and inquiries."

If that happens to my house I really don't care if they call it a tornado or a hurricane or a noreaster. Glad nobody was injured or killed.
