PM Scanner Traffic — 11.18.15

SReporter Scott Maben reports: The powerful winds peeled off the metal roof of one whole side of a large horse arena and stables in Hayden. It produced an “unnatural sound,” said owner Joy Richards, who lives next door. “The roof was starting to fall as I was walking over.” Big chunks of crumbled roof and a cupola landed on the east side of the barn. The six horses kept there were outside but on the west side, Richards said. “I’m sort of in disbelief as its rolling off,” she said. Richards led the sweaty, stressed horses into their stalls and locked them inside to protect them from any other flying debris. Wednesday morning, small pieces of white insulation covered the ground like snow. She and her husband John Richards, the former chairman of Potlatch Corp., built the wooden barn eight years ago. The monitor-style building is about 16,000 square feet and includes a dressage arena. “We’re grateful there was not more damage, and no one was injured,” Joy Richards said. “We’ve got a huge job ahead of us.”
