A severe Sunday windstorm from the March gales caused extensive damage across the district. At the high school a newly built cement block partition failed, scaffolding collapsed, and a steel beam sagged under the onslaught. Shingles, an aerial, a fire hall aerial, and other structures were damaged. Barns, fences, and power lines also failed amid downed trees and scattered debris. Restoration efforts continued Monday as workers salvaged blocks and began repairs while travel was hindered by drifts and damaged roads.
