Production at GM’s Bowling Green, Kentucky plant will be shut down for the week of December 13 in the wake of the devastating tornados that have affected the state.

“We can confirm that the fire that took place as a result of the tornado activity at Bowling Green Assembly plant early Saturday morning (December 11) has caused damage to the facility, including the roof and an employee entrance,” a spokesperson for the site told CorvetteBlogger.

“Maintaining a safe work environment for plant employees is our top priority. Therefore, we are cancelling production on first and second shift the week of December 13 as our trained teams work to get tooling, equipment, and the facility space up to standard,” she added.

The nearby National Corvette Museum Motorsport Park is also closed, citing significant damage.

“It is with great disappointment that we announce the suspension of all activities at the NCM Motorsports Park. This includes all Touring Laps/Experiences, Twinkle at the Track, and the Run, Run Rudolph 5k,” the organization said in a statement. “Like many businesses in our community, the NCM Motorsports Park sustained heavy damage from the overnight weather event, making it temporarily unsafe to welcome guests.”

The shutdowns are just a small part of the devastation caused by tornados that raged through six states this past weekend. The storms are responsible for more than 100 deaths in Kentucky, reports Reuters, in what is being called “a historic, if not generational event.”

General Motors’ Bowling Green plant is the only Corvette production site in the world and employs 1,400 workers.
