Raising the Roof: TOP: City employees and contractors work to get sandbags loaded onto a large forklift as crews work to secure the roof. No one was injured and the cost of the damage has not been determined yet. Despite the roof damage the swimming pool remained open on Wednesday. BELOW: Although it does not take a meteorologist to know it was windy in Gallup on Wednesday, city employees were still surprised when the wind tore up a section of the Gallup Aquatic Center's roof and sent debris out onto Boardman Avenue.

Gone With The Wind: Jack Duckett Sr. checks to make sure his trampoline will not get blown away again and cause more damage to his pickup at his home in Indian Hills on Wednesday afternoon. Duckett walked outside Wednesday morning to discover the trampoline he purchased for his grandkids had blown out of his front yard, clearing a 4-foot high fence and landing on his pickup. The 20-foot wide trampoline weighs about 300 pounds but managed to take flight from the extremely strong winds that hit Gallup and the surrounding area on Wednesday.
