Tornado damage at Harmony Church may be completed by April 15

Construction to repair three buildings damaged by a tornado should be completed by April 15, a year after the twister touched down in Harmony Church at Fort Benning, an official said Friday.

Work crews are busy repairing Building 5124 and Building 2122, both barracks, and the Warrior Training Center, said Elsie Jackson, a public affairs spokeswoman. Repairs are expected to cost $2.9 million.

When the tornado touched down on April 16, Building 5124 took the brunt of the damage. Wind damaged the roof, ripped away siding and left metal studs exposing insulation on the building.

Building 2122 had slight damage with a shattered window of the building?s third floor and some ripped siding.

In addition to the two barracks, the Warrior Training Center sustained minor damage. Vehicles were damaged in the parking lot at the barracks and trees were toppled.

?We had fences that came down, stuff got moved,? Jackson said. ?All of that has been repaired. Trees that came down were moved almost immediately.?
