Storm damages
Main St. buildings
On August 10, 2017 strong mon-
soon winds damaged buildings
on W. Main Street, across from
Pilot. Addicted to Deals Too
had moved out of Quartzsite
Showgrounds metal building in
the spring, so the building was
empty when storm blew the roof
off and the front side wrapped
itself around power pole. Travel
trailers were toppled, car win-
dows shattered, roll-up doors
crunched, and roofs damaged.
Sheet metal ended up across the
street in Pilot Truck parkiing lot.
