Posted on August 28, 2020 by Noelridge

An epic derecho storm swept through Eastern Iowa on Monday, August 10, 2020 packing wind speeds of 100 mph or more which significantly damaged the west exterior of Noelridge Christian Church. Heavy rainwater then entered breached areas, ruining ceilings, wiring, carpet and office materials.

The following photos document the immediate damage and subsequent restoration efforts by ServiceMaster Restore.
