Winds Lift Kids Off Slide

"The small, I guess it's a tornado, picked up everything, five inflatables, these are heavy, these inflatables weigh 800 pounds, an 800-pound slide. It picked it up from that building and carried it in the air all the way to this fence that's the length of 2 football field, probably 200 yards." The school rented the inflatable equipment from a company in Bonaire called Kathy's Rock, Inc. All of the inflatables were staked to the ground, the owner said.
One of the students was admitted to the Medical Center of Central Georgia for treatment. The other five children and the adult were in good condition, according to spokeswoman Janie Pullnot. "
