A storm with high winds hit the Plant around 10:45 P.M. on June 1, 2004 and EE went to put the Kiln on the pony motor because of loss of power in the Plant. While walking on the catwalk a gust of wind caught EE and pushed him across the catwalk, bending his right hand back double by the handrail. EE heard a pop when this happened causing a strain to his right hand.
