Info
A strong tornado destroyed 10 classrooms, the cafeteria, and the gymnasium at a high school. Numerous beams in the roof of the gym were twisted and bent; large bolts used to attach the gym to the foundation were ripped from the structure. A set of bleachers were hurled over 150 yd (140 m) from one side of the school to the other. Several dumpsters were displaced and three or four power poles were snapped, the latter of which led to additional damage to the schools roof and awning. Several trees were snapped or uprooted.
