Tuesday was a day the people of my town will not forget. Rain destroys half a town in a matter of 6 hours.
10:15 am: Lunch Room. Hell breaks lose when the ceiling collapses and fire alarm goes off. As the ceiling fell you heard the screams and shouts of "get in the lunch room go go the ceiling is falling!". 30 Seconds later the school is sourounded by local police and fire department. A part of the school had collapsed and we had been evacuated to the other side of the campus in the building called babcock hall.
Students are pushed in the other lunch room in the other building with news that as we evacuated the ceiling had fallen. The stair cases were like small water falls at least moving at 10-15 miles per hour.
I was standing around some special operation first rescue responders from the fire department to my parents to tell them the situation and that I was ok and that we had evacuated building one.
Its now wednesday and the school has been officially shut down until further by the state of Rhode Island.
State Police, Local and Regional fire departments and police set up a mobile command center in the parking lot of a walmart.
