Info
A strong tornado impacted a high school, partially collapsing concrete stadium bleachers, a press box, and the exterior wall of the western side of the structure. All of the HVAC units were tossed off the roof, and most of the roof was ripped off the main office and an older auditorium. A total of 4 school buses were moved while 25–30 more suffered broken windows and other damage. A small building beyond the schools parking lot was destroyed. Numerous trees were snapped. Strong inflow into the tornado collapsed two large light stands and displaced a conex shipping container about 50 yd (46 m).
