Springfield Middle School In Wilson County, NC Damaged By Tornado

A tornado in Wilson County, North Carolina, caused extensive damage to Springfield Middle School in Lucama. FOX Weather's Robert Ray is on his way to the scene to gather more details.
Wilson County Schools Superintendent Lane Mills told FOX Weather that the damage to the school was heartbreaking. The tornado appears to have hit the 6th- and 7th-grade halls the hardest, where sections of the roof and walls were missing or compromised.
"I am thankful that students and staff were not in the building during the time of the storm," Mills said. "This situation will be ongoing, and we don’t yet know the full extent of the damage, but we will be sharing information and next steps with our families and staff as we can."

That's gonna be a story to tell to my kids. Who knew that my school would get hit by a tornado...

[@LillianSteele-u9v]

First of all my prayers go out to the family of the man killed in the storm itself. And as a retired teacher, I am thankful that no one was inside the school when Debby hit.
