EAGLE PASS, Texas — M&B Metal Products’ hanger-manufacturing plant in Piedras Negras, Mexico, suffered severe damage Tuesday night as a string of killer tornadoes ripped through the area on the Texas/Mexico border.
The plant lost parts of its roof in the high winds, causing a temporary shutdown and an estimated $250,000 to $500,000 in damage.
The tornadoes claimed 10 lives and left hundreds more homeless on both sides of the border. No M&B workers were harmed either at the plant or its Eagle Pass distribution center.
