The tornado snapped numerous pine trees at the beginning of the track, then partially collapsed concrete stadium bleachers and a press box. The tornado continued across the gymnasium, lifting all of the HVAC units off the roof. The|tornado then lifted a large portion of the roof off of the school, including over the main office, library and an older auditorium, then collapsed the exterior wall along a portion of the west side of the building. The tornado then moved into the parking lot on the north side of the building where it moved 4 school buses, and resulted in broken windows and other damages to 31 parked school buses. The tornado then destroyed a small building just beyond the parking lot before lifting. Strong inflow into the tornado also snapped numerous pine trees south of the baseball field, collapsed 2 large light stands near the baseball field, and lifted and displaced a Conex shipping container approximately 50 yards. The tornado path length was about 0.50 miles and the path width was about 150 yards. |
