The roof of the Ancient Lakes Elementary School in Quincy was partially torn off during Tuesday's windstorms.

According to Quincy School District's social media, the gym at Ancient Lakes Elementary suffered extensive structural damage due to a series of microbursts. The district is reporting no injuries.

Staff is working to secure the area, and the public is asked to avoid the school. The area is considered dangerous due to the debris. Pictures of the scene released by the district show large portions of most of the gym's metal roof mangled and lying in one of the school's parking lots.

The roof was installed during a remodel in the 1980’s and was not a part of a recent construction project.

Ancient Lakes Elementary will be closed to staff for the remainder of the week.
