In the town, the high school took a lot of the storms force.

So much so, that the school is having to completely rebuild certain areas.

And also all the supplies for the chemistry room."

Janice jones is the administrator for rivet high school.

She says that right now, the school is in limbo while they wait to see how extensive the damage really is.

Because of that, all they can do is clean, and wait.
