Sullivan High School also suffered minor damage roughly a half-mile away. An employee there tells FOX 2 the tornado picked up an HVAC system, leaving a hole in the roof that left a foot of water in the school’s library. They said it also tossed part of an awning and scattered debris inside of the building. It apparently even caused a gas leak.

They said the district was able to quickly get everything cleaned and sealed up by the times students arrived for school Tuesday morning.

The National Weather Service said three tornadoes touched down in our area Tuesday. In addition to the EF-1 tornado in Sullivan, an EF-0 touched down in Bourbon and another EF-0 touched down in Defiance.
