The Wake County Board of Education meeting was disrupted by the severe weather moving through Wake County tonight.
The board had just completed recognition of a number of students from across the school district in its monthly Spotlight on Students Awards, when school administrators asked everyone to seek cover on the first floor of the Central Services building.
Board members, school administrators and others attending the board meeting went into windowless hallways on the building's first floor. Lights flickered several times, while outside lightning flashed and heavy rains fell.
Board members resumed their meeting in the lobby of the Growth and Planning Department. They finalized a resolution responding to Governor Perdue's executive order on Flexible Furloughs, then voted to adjourn the meeting.
About 10 minutes later around 7:20 p.m., school administrators gave the all clear. People left the building making their way home.
