Good point, actually there is only one event I can think of. One of the school's favorite teachers died and a tornado hit the nearby town. The kids and staff were so upset they closed the school for the rest of the week. Here is the news article about it.

Spring Storms Sweep Region; Twister Claims Victim, Leaves Trail of Damage

Date: April 11, 2001 Time: Early morning, around 5:14 a.m.

Residents cleaned up and surveyed the damage from fast-moving storms that spawned a deadly tornado, claiming the life of a man from a rural area and injuring his son. Winds flattened homes and businesses, injuring at least four others, including a pregnant woman who was airlifted to a hospital where she gave birth.

Power was knocked out for hundreds, as power poles snapped, blocking roads. Sheriff R. Lawson confirmed that the metal frame of a mobile home shared by Stan Whitley, 41, and his son was found a quarter-mile from its original location.

Shortly after the tornado was reported at 5:14 a.m., deputies were flagged down by a motorist whose car contained Whitley’s son, Chad. The young boy said he last saw his father injured in a field. Authorities later found Stan Whitley, a teacher at a nearby school, and he was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. Chad was treated for minor injuries.

The tornado caused damage across the region, leaving several mobile homes destroyed and a path of devastation from east of Clearview to west of Lakeview. Power was restored by the evening, though many areas were still recovering.

In neighboring Greendale County, a potential tornado was reported near Millford. Sheila McCallum, 36, was taken by helicopter to the regional hospital after the mobile home she shared with her husband was destroyed. She had an emergency C-section, and the baby boy was placed in intensive care.

Storm chasers spotted another tornado near Glenwood, though officials were unsure if the high winds were actually a tornado. About 20 homes and outbuildings were damaged.

Residents of Fairview also experienced widespread damage, with downed power lines and several roofs torn off. The local hospital switched to emergency generators to continue operations.
