Iowa-Based Southwest Wholesale RV Survives Tornado – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
SHELDON, Iowa — Mark Ten Kley wasn’t short on business on Thursday, June 6, according to a report by Justin Rust for The N’West Iowa REVIEW.
At 1 p.m. he was in his office with a customer while three more were waiting for him.
The day may have been hectic, but Ten Kley appreciated it, especially since his Southwest Wholesale RV lot was almost wiped out by a tornado about a week earlier.
“I still can’t believe the severity of the damage,” Ten Kley said. “There are new challenges every day. I still can’t believe that it all happened within 20 seconds. We have weathered storms before, but this was on a whole new level.”
A low-level tornado touched down on the east side of Sheldon about 4:15 p.m. Friday, May 31, and caused major damage to multiple recreation vehicles and two buildings on Southwest Wholesale’s lot at 90 N. Runger Ave. west of the exchange of the Highway 60 expressway and Highway 18.
