Forsyth work crew cleans up after tornado in Clemmons

Tornadoes cut a path through northwest North Carolina May 7, 1998, as heavy rains and winds of 100 to 200 mph buffeted Forsyth County and parts of Guilford, Davidson and Surry counties. The storm caused about $50 million in property damage.

Forsyth Correctional Center work crews were sent to the Forsyth County community of Clemmons to help clean up after the storm.

Correctional officers J.W. Johnson, Jamie Lewis and Randy Shelton supervised the prisoner work crews.
