Tornado Hits Campus

Starkville residents were more worried about Katrina wrecking havoc in Starkville than Rita, but a tornado, spawned from the remnants of Rita, had a much bigger impact on campus. 100 year old oak trees are down all along the center of campus and a few buildings lost sections of their roofs, including Perry Cafeteria. It appears this RV, along with the University Hills mobile home community took the worst of the beating.

It has been reported that the athletic facilities all made it through the storm intact.
