Hit the metal roof over the refuel pumps. No one hurt (I think) though we were still finding shrapnel the following morning. Some damage to a boat and at least one other cab - or so I heard.

500e,
The important thing is that the Enstrom stayed upright; if it had rolled over and thrashed itself to pieces the situation would have been a lot worse.....just pride and wallet dented it appears......
