It all happened at around 3:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon when a possible tornado swept through the fire academy in Calhoun County.
Several buildings were destroyed. A fire truck was buried under debris and several cars were damaged. When the storm hit, about 60 students were on campus.
Michael Eckelkamp is a student at the fire academy. He says by the time they made it to the bathroom, all their ears started to pop then it got eerily quite for a second.
Harmony Grove picked up the students in a bus and eventually they were able to make it back to their dorms.
A community college nearby was also hit by the storm. The gym was damaged and a trailer had tipped over.
Also in East Camden, 12 to 15 mobile homes were destroyed. Fortunately, we haven't gotten any reports of injuries.
