Whew...just glad I survived the tornado. About 7:30PM CST, it hit here (Columbus, MS). Ripped up a big part of our dorms' roofs. Lots of cars crushed by uprooted trees and flying debris, some cars rolled on their sides, one truck smashed by a dumpster that got picked up about 200 ft. away and blown across the parking lot, and nearly every window shattered or smashed. Luckily, I didn't have a car there. But many's of my classmates and friends will be having to deal with the insurance company in the next few days. The dorms are leaking, some places flooding. No electricity, so we had to fumble around in the dark. I went across campus to see what happened to a theater. The whole front face of the building had collapsed, and you could see the stage from a quarter of a mile away. There's tractors and trucks working to clean out this mess. The whole place looks like a warzone or refugee camp. But school won't resume for at least a week.
Hope anyone else caught in the storm came out without a scratch.
