HIGH POINT â The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club and nearby furniture manufacturer Phillips Collection are dealing with extensive damage to their roofs and buildings nearly a month after a tornado ripped through south High Point.
Leaders of both organizations expressed thanks no one was injured and for an outpouring of community support even as they struggle to estimate the six-digit repair costs. The damages to roofing, heating and air systems and sports fields were caused by the EF-1 tornadoâs winds that reached a peak of 95 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
Amy Hudson, executive director of The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club of High Point, said she has been working to get quotes and bids while missing the students she normally oversees. Most of those students are temporarily served by the YWCA, YMCA and other programs that offered to help.
