Crosby Elementary in the Diamond Creek subdivision sustained damage to the roof and south side of the building resulting in the schools closure Tuesday April 4, 2012. Crews immediatly began repairs on the roof and campus when the weather calmed. It is not clear yet whether the campus will be open on Wednesday for classes or if it will need to remain closed. Thanks to quick and smart thinking from the ISD they were able to route all outgoing buses from the campus to Forney High School for cover.
Although in the immediate line of the tornado that touched down in Diamond Creek, the North Forney High School campus is said to have received little to no damage. All schools were on lock down at the time of the storms.
