The barn was owned by Michael Carter – but Carter said he wasn't upset about the loss. He had a barn right beside the one he lost that would have been much worse for the tornado to hit.
"I've got a 1940 panel van in there and a 1915 Hearst, and I was just glad that nothing else got hurt," Carter said.
In a neighborhood nearby, Jean Weir was visiting her son's house with her two grandkids when she heard the tornado.
"We headed down two flights of stairs to the basement, but as I was coming on the main floor I saw the swirling out the back window," Weird said. "Debris. Wind. The trees were bent."
No injuries were reported as a result of the tornado, but several school districts did have students shelter in place and delay dismissals due to the tornado.
Delayed dismissal at WWS elementary buildings due to tornado warning. All students in safety position. More info to come.
