Ian Macartney of Neon Americana says he used special roof screws all the way thrugh to the steel roof deck of the diner.

The original sign took a beating, knocked to the ground during a hail storm in March.

"That was our one year anniversary of taking over ownership. So, hopefully that's the worse thing that's going to happen to us this year," said owner Randy Roest.

But the repaired sign is being installed on a day when severe storms are in the forecast.

"This will be a good test, and I guarantee it will hold up I hope it stays up, said Macartney as he looked at the sky doubtfully and laughed, “Well, maybe I shouldn't say that!”

Owner Jonelle Roest also kept a smile about the irony of the situation, "We're going to hold Ian to his guarantee so, hopefully everything else cooperates."

Fast moving clouds overhead could be as sign of trouble. The national weather service are tracking storms and issued a high wind watch for our area.

"We have very strong winds aloft, and colder air moving in aloft later this evening and those things are going to mix together to give us the potential for some very strong and severe thunderstorms," said Daniel Cobb of the National Weather Service.

All the Roests can do at this point is watch and wait, to see if their sign stays in place.
