Arizona State's Practice Dome 'Blew Away'

Bizarre story this morning out of Tempe. It appears the program's practice field bubble/dome was destroyed during a flash storm yesterday. From the Arizona Republic:
Russell Schilt, a 22-year-old ASU student, said he walked about the school's practice facility to see the bubble roof in shreds from the storm. Schilt said he was surprised at the damage the new building took.

"The bubble dome had complete deflated," he said.

The DevilsDigest message board is discussing the improbable damage.

Fox 10 just had a camera guy out there and said police told him that there are "pieces" of the dome all over the place. It looks like The Devil Dome......is no more, thanks to a VERY wicked storm/storms that are blowing through tonight.
And
It definitely happened. Just texted my sister in the band, everyone from the football team to the band are freaking out right now.
Crazy. ASU famously hosted LSU almost immediately following Hurricane Katrina, but as another SEC team heads to town in a few weeks it will be Arizona State of all places picking up the pieces of a destructive natural phenomena.
