My dad called me early this morning and asked what college does Mary Ann my cousin go to. I couldn't think of the name but when he said Union University in Jackson Tennessee that was it. He said that it got hit last night with a tornado. So I called my Aunt Lisa and she said that Mary is fine. They heard from her about an hour after the storm. Mary and her roommate were in the basement bathrooms. They heard it going over the top of them and then it was quit. When they walked out of the dorm it was amazing what they saw. Mary's dorm was the only dorm that was still standing and there were cars on top on cars and the other dorms had been riped apart. Praise God. I will post more when I know more. She said the it hadn't hit her yet on what just happened.
Here is a link to a new report about the college.

Thank goodness she's OK! They've had lots of fatalities out there- the Today Show said this morning that there were 70 tornados yesterday! In February, I can't believe it. How scary for your cousin but I'm sure glad she's OK!!
Tornadoes are occuring much earlier nowadays in our part of the country. I think it was year ago today that we had a rash of severe storms and tornados.
