(Audubon, Iowa) – The owner of a dog grooming business in rural Audubon said on social media this (Friday) morning, that her day did not get off to a good start. Risa Rugaard, owner of In The Dog House Boarding and Grooming, said “We had quite a bit of damage,” from the storms that blew through at around 6:30-a.m.
The event happened “really quick and really loud.” The roof of she and her husband Kevin’s business was torn-off and tossed about, but neither Risa nor any of the animals were injured. There were no warnings issued for Audubon County. The whole thing took her and Kevin by surprise.
The wind event apparently took on a straight-line through their property.
It was there and gone quickly, but during the time it occurred, the roof damage the wind caused was extensive, and it’s unclear how long it will take to fix. Adding insult to injury, was the rain that was falling inside the building, with the roof having been peeled away. The couple have owned the dog grooming and boarding business for three-years (2019). Risa has been grooming animals for more than 30-years.
