South Fork Principal Seth Huddleston made final announcements for the day to students that attended classes Monday in the fellowship hall of First Baptist Church on Walnut Street in West Plains. Classes had been moved because power was out at the school. South Fork is a kindergarten through eighth grade school located about 10 miles southwest of West Plains, and is part of the West Plains R-7 School District. Students were given the option to be bused to West Plains from South Fork, and about 150 out of 190 students did so, Huddleston said. The effort was made to return children to a sense of normalcy after some families were affected by the storm and heavy damage to the area near the school. Students ate lunch at the West Plains Middle School and returned to the church for ice cream provided by Mission First Medical, owned by Huddleston’s wife Suzanne, and Spring Dipper of West Plains. By Tuesday morning power had been restored to the school and classes resumed as normal, with thanks given by district officials to Howell-Oregon Electric Cooperative and the First Baptist Church.

Jessica Grassie, right, and her husband James had heavy damage to their home, shop building and shed during Friday's storm as it passed southeast of West Plains. The couple live off of Highway 17 near Glenwood school on 3 acres, which Grassie said had been cleared of trees by high winds. She said she and her husband are staying at a hotel and have insurance on their property, but their home was severely damaged and exposed to the weather, so they picked up tarps on Monday to help cover the damage. The local chapter of the American Red Cross, represented here by worker Martha Romans, who lives in Branson, had set up a station Monday at First United Methodist Church for those affected by the storm to pick up donated bottled water and other drinks, hygiene items, diapers, cleaning supplies, tarps, work gloves, clothing, bedding and other needs.
