One of Malaco’s founders, Wolf Stephenson, was inside with about 15 employees when the tornado powered through. Stephenson said, “We started seeing limbs and debris flying through the air and decided we better take cover.”
Luckily, says Stephenson, everywhere they took cover remained structurally intact and miraculously, no one was injured. Stephenson says the warehouse can probably be saved. As for the rest of Malaco Records: “Well, the buildings are old. It’s a real tricky question as to whether or not it’s worth rebuilding,” said Stephenson.
