Hurricane Debby

Probably a weak tornado though, most hurricanes don’t produce anything too crazy strong and a middle school is a pretty solid structure. What’s the damage report ?
I was in a ballet in a children's role and I was the only one of 4 of us who hadn't had the roof ripped off my elementary school by a tornado during Hurricane Alicia. Additionally a new school about to open had it's roof ripped off and all the books were sucked out of the library. My mom said they all must have ended up in the Gulf of Mexico because the books disappeared.

And this storm has been producing Particularly Dangerous Situation-rated tornadoes.
 
I just looked up Springfield Middle School. It's in Lucama which was near the debris signature about which Snowlover91 said "I have never seen a debris field so large on radar."
 

In case it's still going.
