Remarkably no-one was injured by the EF-1 tornado, which was reportedly 100 yards wide.
Director of Crockett County Schools, Robert F. Mullins Jr, said that the tornado's path damaged classrooms, building roofs, the football stadium and felled lampposts.


The baseball field, softball field and tennis courts also experienced minor damage caused by debris strewn across the school grounds.

Robert said there is always a possibility of tornadoes in the area during violent thunderstorms.

The tornado formed at approximately 4.55 pm around three miles west to the south west of Alamo.

The security camera shows it battering a fence at the school and throwing debris across what appears to be a parking lot.

A gate is later seen being blown open as large chunks of roofing are sent sprawling by the wind. A chair can even be seen escaping the school.
Another angle shows a flash of lightening as heavy rain adds further drama to the scene.
The tornado is listed as having ended at 5.03 pm about two miles west to northwest of Alamo.

Why does The Star casino gets a free pass on Sydney's liquor lockout laws?

No last drinks, violent fights... and millions in gambling taxes to the NSW government: Why do YOU think The Star casino gets a free pass on Sydney's liquor lockout laws?

Lock-out laws were introduced in Sydney city and Kings Cross in 2014
NSW Premier Mike Baird has come under fire for controversial restrictions
The Star casino is the only Sydney CBD venue exempt from the laws
The casino paid Baird's government $320m in taxes in 2014-15
The Star's revenue for the year was $1.54billion

When every other pub and bar in central Sydney is forced to close its doors at 1.30am, drinkers know there is one place they can go and stay until whatever time they like.
The Star casino proudly boasts it has a bar that is open all hours, it even calls it the '24/7 Sports Bar.'
As a fresh debate rages about whether the NSW Government's liquor laws are stemming alcohol-related violence or creating an 'nanny state', the casino has stayed quietly beyond the fray.
No wonder, as the casino has managed to escape the laws that small bar owners, clubs and other businesses say has killed Sydney's nightlife - any many businesses along with it.

Critics who have slammed Premier Mike Baird for defending the lockout laws this week are also questioning why the the casino - which is a huge contributor to state revenue through gambling taxes - gets a free pass despite being a major city venue that statistics show may be the most violent in the state.
The issue has taken off this week on social media, where Mr Baird has been lampooned as 'Casino Mike'.
The premier's office referred questions from Daily Mail Australia about why the casino was exempt from the lockout laws to the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing, which grants alcohol licenses. OLGR did not answer the question directly, saying only that the casino was outside the designated liquor lockout zone.

The government introduced the tough laws in February 2014 after a public outcry about a spate of brutal alcohol-related violence late at night in the city, including the tragic death of 18-year-old Thomas Kelly.
Mr Kelly was punched without warning as he walked with his girlfriend in Kings Cross, fell unconscious to the ground and suffered irreparable brain damage when his head hit the pavement. His family made the agonising decision to switch off his life support.
The new laws created a zone covering the Sydney central business district, Kings Cross, the clubbing precinct on Oxford Street and other parts of the inner city - and slapped them with rules including requiring them to lock their doors to new patrons a 1.30am, serve last drinks at 3am and stop takeaway sales after 10pm.


The zone does not include Pyrmont, the suburb where The Star is located that is close enough to central Sydney to give high-rollers in waterfront rooms a spectacular view of the city skyline.
Since the lockout laws were introduced, numerous small bars and clubs in the city have closed and critics blame the new rules for reducing business and pushing customers to other areas of the city.
In the same period, The Star has recorded large profit increases.
The Star paid the NSW Government more than $320million in tax in the year from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015, according to its financial statements.That was an increase of $70million on the year before, when it paid $250million in taxes.
The Star's pre-tax revenues for 2014-15 were $1.541billion.
The Star told Daily Mail Australia in a statement the rise in was 'attributable to increases in gaming revenue and international VIP businesses that followed our $870million refurbishment in 2013, as well as new restaurant offerings and the Star Event Centre opening attracting corporate and entertainment audiences.'

Mr Baird claimed this week alcohol-related assaults in the central business disctrict had dropped by 42.2 per cent since the laws were introduced, and by more than 60 per cent in Kings Cross. The Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSR) said the Kings Cross figure was more like 45 per cent.
A BOCSR review of the first six months of the lockout laws found that while assaults at other venues was falling, there was an average of 6.3 assaults per month at the Star - or an average of 75 assaults per year, according to The Sydney Morning Herald.
The review said there was 'some evidence that assaults increased in and around The Star casino' but described them as 'not statistically significant and the reduction in assault elsewhere was much larger than the increase around The Star casino.'

In addition to the lockout laws, The Star is also exempt from state laws targetting violent licensed venues, including the so-called 'Three Strikes' rules that can strip premises of their liquor license if repeated breaches occur. The Star was fined or censured 12 times in 2013-14 for license breaches, the Herald reported.
Mr Baird was ridiculed online this week as 'Casino Mike' as the debate on the lockout laws became more heated.

Dozens of musicians including DJ Alison Wonderland, Nina Las Vegas, electronic duo Flight Facilities and American rapper Danny Brown have criticised the laws.
'How about you let the public vote on the issue instead of an out of touch group of suits? If you were elected represent a majority, perhaps you should find out if they agree with you,' wrote Flight Facilities.

'As a nightclub DJ and promoter, I can't work within the lockout zones and am continually explaining to international visitors WHY our city is no longer somewhere you would want to perform,' wrote DJ Nina Las Vegas.
Others showed their support for the cause by posting a photo with a placard reading: 'Keep Sydney Open.'
Australian singer-songwriter Tina Arena uploaded a photo of the slogan with the caption: 'Sydney deserves a safe and fulfilling late night culture. Let's Keep Sydney Open <3 #nolockout.' Mr Baird rejected claims his department deleted thousands of critical comments on his Facebook post about the state's controversial lockout laws. He told reporters on Wednesday the lockout laws would be reviewed. It was not clear if the review would include The Star's exemptions. 'What we want to do in relation to the policy is have it reviewed and I'm open to what those findings bring forward,' he said.

Ukip has been accused of allowing racists, homophobes, violent criminals and an adult film star with a criminal past to stand as candidates during the last election.
A leaked dossier seen by The Times suggests the beleaguered party was fully aware of the controversial backgrounds of some prospective MPs and councillors - but encouraged them to stand for election nonetheless.
All together 47 Ukip candidates, including 11 people run for Parliament, were allowed to stand for the party despite having 'black marks' against their names.

At least 14 of the candidates who stood last May had violent pasts - five of those had been convicted in court for offences including assault and grievous bodily harm.
Porn star John Langley, who performs under the name of Johnny Rockard, stood as a Ukip councillor in Bristol last May with the blessing of party officials.
It later emerged he was convicted in 1986 for assaulting his 13-year-old stepson and as a result was placed on a child-harm register for life.
Despite this Ukip officials backed his campaign and he only left the party after it was revealed he filmed a public sex scene in a Bristol park - just weeks after he came third in election.


The Eurosceptic party's internal records show a further 23 candidates had expressed sexist, racist, homophobic or Islamaphobic views, and at least one was a supporter of the far-right English Defence League.
That candidate also wrote that the Prophet Mohammed was a 'criminal psychopath'.

Another candidate posted a picture online of two people posing with monkeys, with the caption: 'Arranged interracial marriage.'
Other candidates who were allowed to stand included someone who had spoken at a 'gay cure' event, Facebook users who had shared far-right videos, and a farmer who was convicted of animal cruelty.
The Times reports that in most cases candidates were at first blocked from standing, but upon appeal - where they were often backed by senior Ukip officials - they were told they were allowed to stand.
Of 200 candidates who were blocked by David Soutter, Ukip's head of candidates in 2014, 128 challenged their rejection - and 115 were allowed to run.
Mr Soutter, former chief of staff for TV presenter turned politician Robert Kilroy-Silk, was hired to try and prevent damaging scandals involving Ukip candidates following a number of embarrassing gaffes.
As part of the scheme candiadtes were told to reveal any criminal convictions, hand over their social media log-in details and were saked to declare any membership or affiliation with any other political parties or pressure groups.
Leaked internal documents also revealed other party members who applied for selection included drug dealers, a convicted murderer and a sex offender.
Two Ukip prospective MPs had previously been convicted of assault, three prospective councillors were convicted of harassment, breaking and entering and blackmail.
During last year's General Election Ukip won 3.8million votes but just one MP.
It is currently campaigning for an 'out' vote in the referendum.
A Ukip spokesman said: 'Our candidates team looked at thousands of candidates last year and generally associations such as this would raise a red flag.
'Discretion was held by the then head of candidates, Mr Soutter.'
