Some communities in parts of High Point and Davidson County were hit hard by the last round of tornadoes in the Spring. Residents say they learned some serious lessons in survival, including how to help out others during times of need.

"It made us start getting along. We spoke before, but now we come up and get together for a cookout, and make a blow up thing for the kids," neighbor Jessica Flannery said. Flannery lives at the Valley Mobile Home Estates in Davidson County.

Besides relying on one another, residents of the tight-knit community also rely much more on the media, to tell them of their next weather threat.

Officials cut the ribbon on a new 6.5 mile stretch of the Highway 311 bypass on Monday, about six months ahead of schedule.

The roadway stretches from Business 85 in High Point to Cedar Square Road in Randolph County. The new road will serve as a faster route from south High Point to Randolph County, as well as alleviate traffic on Main Street.

"The more neighborhoods that have been built in the area in recent years, traffic increased dramatically," Andrew Hill of Kenwood Village said.
