An apparent downburst of wind caused minor damage to temporary roofing on the gym and auditorium of Niceville High School. The school had suffered damage from Hurricane Opal and had a temporary roof on it. The wind peeled away the temporary roof and rains damaged the auditorium. The roof damage is an estimate to fix the total damage, although most of the damage occurred with Opal. Four residences near the high school also had some shingles blown from their homes and an automobile had its rear window knocked out by debris.
