The Aftermath

This is the back of my dorm complex.
This is the back of my dorm! There is my kitchen! You can see my two roomates rooms on the left and right. One of my roomies bed is gone!


Here is the debris on the side of my dorm!

This is the back of my dorm!


Here is the front of good 'ole Dodd! My room is the one on the second floor, by the right stairs. I have lived here for almost three years.


This is my living room- It is destroyed!


Here is a random door blown from its building wedged into the sidewalk



This is the all girls complex-hurt. This complex is across from mine(seperated by a parking lot)



This is another view of Hurt, it was destroyed, to say the least


Creepy!!!


Here is Wingo, it is a dorm in Hurt Complex! The girls who lived here were trapped in the building for a little while after the tornado. Thankfully they were able to get out of the building, but they had to climb over and through the debri.

This is a small glimpse of what my campus looks like now after the tornado hit! Please keep us in your prayers! It was a devestating and traumatic event, but we are all glad to be alive!
I am soo blessed! I thought that I had lost everything in the tornado, but I had an amazing surprise when I came home. I had forgotten to pack some clothes and so I have things! God blessed me with what I needed! He is definitely a provider!! I am just amazed by how much He has been faithful over the last few days. It is very comforting how much the little things can make a person's day!
Please be praying for...
1. Students who live overseas and don't have a place to stay or a passport to get home.
2. Students who lost everything(majority of them)
3. That we will be able to return to campus by the 18th and have school
4. That God will provide housing for the students
5. For peace and comfort among the Jackson Community, students, faculty/staff, and families
Thanks I appreciate your prayers!!
