"These are all things that just can't be recreated," said Fred Stecker, special assistant to MDA's executive director. A 25-by-30-foot hole exposed the sky from inside the room, where crushed and wet boxes of videotapes were covered with debris.

Movers loaded as many tapes as possible into vans and hauled them off to a temporary storage site. The association moved its national headquarters to Tucson in 1991. The warehouse stores supplies and brochures for MDA outlets across the country, Stecker said. The Ramada Inn University and Conference Center, 1601 N. Oracle Road, remained closed yesterday after Friday's storm flooded 60 rooms, the lobby and dining area.

Her family was trying yesterday to track down and thank the men who tried to save Margaret Krieski, Steve Krieski said.

"I'm just glad to know somebody out there cares," he said. On the day after the storm, residents and business owners across the city patched roofs and swept debris. Those without power sweltered inside their uncooled homes. "It's miserable," said northeast-side resident Clarke Duncan, 70, whose power had been out for nearly 24 hours. Duncan, who lives in Tucson Country Club Estates, said he came home from a dinner party Friday night to find the whole neighborhood pitch dark.

As of 4:30 p.m. yesterday, Duncan and his wife were still without power. The couple stocked their freezer and fridge with dry ice to salvage perishables. At first, they planned to stay home and stick out the heat until the power was restored. But as the hours dragged on, they reconsidered, and Duncan's wife wont to a friend's air-conditioned house.
