Local emergency management crews are assessing the destruction, which includes a collapsed roof at an elementary school and damage to a fire department. The National Weather Service confirmed a tornado impacted the area. Reports from the scene describe extensive debris, including sheets of metal littering the ground and power lines entangled with debris.
