Central Iowa was hit hard by severe storms and tornadoes on Sunday, May 10, 2015. In Lake City, the roof of Southern Calhoun High School was ripped off while 100 people were inside for an awards ceremony. According to a report in the Des Moines Register, the school's girl's basketball coach says they received the warning and got everyone into the school's basement and locker room area just two minutes before the twister hit.
The exact moment was caught on video from only a few blocks away. Luckily, no one was hurt. Classes at the school were canceled for Monday, May 11.
There were nine reports of tornadoes in North Central Iowa. Survey teams from the National Weather Service will assess the damage to determine whether damage reported in Calhoun, Carroll, and Pocahontas Counties was caused by tornadoes or straight-line winds.
