This was a weak one, somewhere between a strong F1 and a weak F2, but it was very interesting to watch as it tracked along the ground. It did cause a little excitement at the middle school:

At nearby Bluegrass Middle School, Principal Brenda Pirtle had just picked up the intercom to dismiss students for the day when she heard storm sirens.

She ordered the school's 730 students into tornado drill formation -- only this time it was no drill. The students were taken to hallways away from windows, where they sat down, ducked down and put their hands over their heads.

School bus drivers rushed in to say they saw the approaching funnel cloud along with debris in the air.

"It passed over the top of our school," Pirtle said.

She said the students remained calm. "They listened to instructions," she said. "They knew to take it very seriously. They did an excellent job."

Some of the parents who had been waiting to pick up their children weren't as calm, as they tried to find their children.

It was just past the school, where it touch down and leveled a couple of buildings. They are saying now that there were no injuries. How a small food store can be leveled and no one was hurt really seems strange to me!
