I didn't get any pictures of the University but we are going over there today to help out...

New news! The tornadoe was categorized an F4. The tornado was 1/2 a mile wide. The only reason it didn't completely demolish our town is because it did not stay on a consistent path but "jumped around" so to say.

A close shave... it's almost worse in that, unlike a hurricane, tornados can devastate one side of the street and leave the other nearly unscathed... creepy.

The neighborhood next to us is gone but we are untouched...very very creepy.
