Renwick buildings damaged in snowstorm

A freak May snowstorm that dumped between 6-10 inches of wet, heavy snow to Humboldt County last week, caused damage to buildings in the area, including a business in Renwick and the city maintenance shed there. The shop area of Renwick Motors, at the corner of York Avenue and Main Street collapsed because of the weight of the heavy, unseasonable precipitation. “It happened to blow and stuck a lot of snow on the south side of the roof. It just had a domino affect with the rafters and took the whole shop area,” said Julie Eekhoff, who along with husband, Ron, has operated the Ford dealership since 1975. She is not sure what is next for the longtime Renwick business. Three rafters in the showroom area are showing damage but the couple are waiting for an engineer’s report about any further structural damage. Renwick’s truck maintenance shed on Kelling Street was destroyed when the roof collapsed.
