Here are excerpts from her email--

"look at these pictures of the bank that sits right in front of it on the corner. When you turn off Hwy 45 to go over to Target, Arby’s is on the right and the bank and Union University is on the left. All I had heard was that windows were blown out. I didn’t hear it was like this. I bet they had someone watching it all night.

The station that sits on the right hand of the street before you make that turn was also destroyed. The people getting gas there were picked up along with their cars and tossed 100 feet or more. The people driving on the road right there, also had been picked up and thrown quite a few feet. Regional hospital, where I had my surgery, had some damaged done to it as well.

I don’t know if Arby’s or any of the stores in that mall were damaged or not.

"Interstate 40 at the 73 marker had some big rigs tossed around. One was thrown on top of a car and then went down a ditch. Haven’t heard yet how the driver of the car was. An eye witness was driving just in front of these 2 and he got picked up and put against guard rail then the other happened."

I'll see if I can get info specific to the University...

I know someone who lives in the dorms at Union. I haven't spoken with her directly, but have heard from family friends that her and her suite mates were hiding in their bathroom. When they came out they found that their whole external wall was GONE....
