Staff Writer The Joplin Globe
COLUMBUS, Kan. — Wednesday night’s storm took part of the roof off of a gymnasium in Columbus.David Carriger, superintendent of the Columbus school district, said they lost part of the roof of the Round Top Gym at Central School.“We had about half the roof blown off at 9:25 p.m.,” he said this morning. “The interior ceiling is still intact.” He said they also had several inches of water in the gym. “The water came so fast. We had a good inch in a 15-minute period. It just poured,” Carriger said. He said the water may have gotten under the gym floor and down into the sub-flooring. “It’s starting to buckle a little bit. We’re probably going to replace the floor.”
