| Hurts Commons - Women's Activiity Bldg. |
|
|
| This is the building I crawled out of alive. I still cannot believe I was in there. |
| It is still hard to believe that we were all safe |
|
|
| Everytime I see what God brought us through, I stand amazed at His care. |
|
| Patton Dorm (To The Right) |
|
|
| My room was downstairs midway. The backside is blown in but this side was not too bad. |
|
| Aerial of the main men and womens dorm complex. |
|
|
| We lost all 16 of these dorms. The buildings in the background lost their roofs. |
|
| Ema, our R.D. & her husband were in here with us. |
|
|
| The baby is due in June and is going to be fine. |
|
| Yes it's the student parking lot, not a junk yard. |
|
|
|
| Cars flew like toys. Buildings crumbled like sand. |
|
|
| I cannot tell you what this 35 secs sounded like. |
|
| Matt, Elizabeth, Aaron and I found each other the |
|
|
| next morning and read about the damage in the paper |
|
| 35 seconds from one end of campus to the other. |
|
|
| $45 million in damages. |
| As R.A.'s we were bag and tag teams. |
|
|
| We tried to be upbeat, but truthfully I think we wandered around for days in shock. |
|
| We were briefed on what to salvage and asked to be |
|
|
| very, very careful. |
| The TN guard began bag/tag instructions. |
|
|
| By Saturday the National Guard arrived. I was able to go home Sat, much to my parents' relief |
