The weather was sunny with a brisk, cold wind when we were setting up. Small items were placed on hay racks. Other items like vehicles and shop items were placed on different spots and wood was stacked in all of the sheds.
The sun disappeared behind clouds when the bidding started. Some things sold for less than hoped, while others sold for more.
The land was considered a potential problem for the auctioneers. They had never dealt with a situation where the auction happened so close to a major disaster that affected the entire area. In the end, the price exceeded most expectations.
A local farmer purchased most of the property while his father-in-law purchased the small lot. The farmer plans on farming the tillable acres but said he hadn't considered what to do with the rest yet. There were rumors of the lots being considered for a gas station. The house may be saved, but that is his business now.
