There was obvious damage at the Northview High School campus — trees were downed, the school sign was destroyed, sports equipment was tossed about, and ag equipment was overturned. Northview and Bratt had power, but Byrneville and Ernest Ward did not.

All other schools in Escambia County delayed start times by one hour and were dismissed on a regular schedule this afternoon.
