A comprehensive inspection was performed to determine the full extent of the damage following a tornado struck the enogex metering and pipeline facility adjacent to the devon canna plant. Extensive damage to a ultrasonic meter, control valve, pressure monitor valve, isolation valve, efm, scada equipment, gas quality monitoring equipment including a gas chromatograph as well as above ground piping prevents the repair of this facility.
