The Denny Sanford Premier Center had a blustery Christmas this year.

Strong winds Sunday night caused part of the soffit on the building's north side to peel off. Wind gusts reached up to 55 mph, according to the National Weather Service.

The siding on the building remained in place, and the inside of the building has not been damaged, General Manager Terry Torkildson said.

Year in weather: Warmer, wetter and mostly uneventful

"Unless it starts to rain up, we're fine," Torkildson said.

The building's contractor and the city engineer were made aware of the damage, and as of Tuesday afternoon they were working to assess the damage and get the building fixed.

Torkildson didn't know the cost of the repair, but said it doesn't appear to be anything major.

"Everyone's in the loop, and we're just going to get it put back in place," he said.
