A severe thunderstorm caused widespread damage in the town of Lucas in Russell County.
Residents say it hailed for over a hour.
“It got so dark, I said what is that noise and my granddaughter say mama, get inside, get inside, there is a warning, get into the shelter,” said Olga Vasquez, who barely made it home before the storm.
A BMW parked outside Vasquez’s home had the panoramic moonroof broken out and front windshield cracked. The SUV also had holes in the fenders from the hail stones.
Jude Stecklein, superintendent of Sylvan Grove and Lucas schools, says the hail damaged windows and skylights, allowing water to get into the buildings.
Classes are cancelled at Sylvan Grove and Lucas so staff can clean up the damage.
Many cars in town have extensive damage.
The towns grocery store had its roof damaged so bad that it was leaking in water.
There were no reported injuries because of the hail.
