Do you know the damage to KSU campus? I am a student at KSU interning in another state and very curious as to the damage and potential human damage of my university and friends. Thanks.
Reports on the radio right now are saying some damage along Denison and the north side of campus. Cardwell and Bird hall have been damaged. The Wind Erosion lab that was up in that area is gone. downed trees/power lines. The only injuries reported at this time are from the Miller Ranch area in the southwest part of town.
Sounds like Weber and Fielder also got hit, from a friend at the campus, said that trees were uprooted, signs just twisted and mangled and power lines snapped in two. Also heard that Water's Hardware store or something got hit real hard, and Little Apple's car dealership and cars overturned
I live in Alaska now, but have family and friends in Manhattan along with all my earthly belongings are in American Air Storage on Amherst. Anyone know if that storage was hit? My family is trying to get over there to check but police won't let them.
The waters true value hardware store is completely gone. I was employed there, and went to go check out the damage, and found the store completely demolished. Webber hall was hit hard, and some damage around cardwell but as far as i know true value was hit the hardest.
i live in enterprise, al and am from manhattan i found a website z963.com and it as a complete report of all damage and instruction.
Thanx for all the info people.
Will post more damage info as I get it later today.
