The Marion/Carbondale, IL area was hit on May 8, 2009 by straight line winds in excess of 100 mph over a 15 minute period. As a result of the high winds, local communities in the Marion/Carbondale, IL area were struck with downed trees, loss of power, and severely damaged buildings. The First Christian Church facility of Marion, IL was one of those buildings damaged by the winds.
The church facility had its parapet walls and roof torn off; water poured through the building, soaking all three levels of the building. Through the quick response by the congregation, its' insurance agent, the insurance company, and TC3 professionals - plaster walls, ceilings, and moldings, pews, stained glass, and a 13 rank pipe organ were saved. TC3 continues to manage the immediate water mitigation protocol along with the roof replacement. |
