Eric J. Vaudt commented on a Sentinel.com Facebook post: “The facade (of Zoar Baptist Church in Deltaville) is standing as is the back wall. The entire center section of the sanctuary is gone, and the steeple is laying in the front yard. The education wing seems to be intact as is the parsonage.”

Heavy damage has also been reported at Page Middle School in Gloucester.
