A Fentress County School continues to clean up from Monday morning’s storms that spawned a tornado warning for the area.  Officials have determined that it was straight-line winds that caused significant damage to Pine Haven Elementary as some 200 students and staff sheltered inside.  WVLT reports that winds destroyed three heating and air units at Pine Haven and caused a small leak in the roof.  The dugout and some nets were also destroyed.  The school is still trying to assess the cost of the damage.  Fortunately, there were no injuries reported at the school in in other parts of Fentress County.
