    The damage I have seen close to the interstate is consistent with EF2 to MAYBE EF3 damage. One of the gas stations has no roof and partial wall failure. One of the apt./hotels lost a roof. I suspect we will see the final rating come in that ballpark unless there is some damage that hasn't been shown.

    Will the love shack be rebuilt in time for wku? This could be used as a huge fundraiser for all of Ruston. #rally4Ruston. Saddened by all the pictures shown. Prayers for all involved.

    @corydiaz_tns: #LATech AD Tommy McClelland said its highly unlikely soccer will be playing in its stadium come August. Also said it’s a possibility that softball and baseball teams could be playing their games elsewhere in 2020. @latech @LATechSports #LATech

    How is not having either field ready for the 2020 season even possible?

    Re: Tornado damage Ruston/LaTech

    It may be totally unfair to say this because I don’t know the details like what the Tech officials do but my first reaction is that it would be absolutely unacceptable not to play baseball and softball at Tech next year. Getting the Bulldogs and Lady Techsters back on their fields has to happen. Our programs must not go homeless!

    If they completely rebuild both facilities...

    Even if that's what happens, if we can build the football press box in 9 months, we can build two new complexes in 9 months (allowing three months for the bid process)

    Re: Tornado damage Ruston/LaTech

    The question was asked of Tommy if the campus had ever been through anything like this. The only thing that comes close in the last 50 years would be the May, 1989 flood. It practically destroyed the softball field, as the water caused sinkholes throughout the old Pugh's Creek bed. It also destroyed the plumbing to the restroom facility and the electrical system in the stadium. The flood in 2000 also caused a lot of damage, but not of the same magnitude as May, 1989.

    The 1989 flood also swamped several dozen cars parked in the Neilson Dorm lower lot, as well as cars parked on the road behind the dorm. It also caused severe flooding in Neilson Dorm, both to the first floor as well as upper floors as water made its way up through the AC system. It did other less severe damage around campus, as well.

    Is there anything we can do to start up a donation collection? The quicker we can get started on this, the more funds we can raise to specifically help rebuild.

    With everything the athletic department needs to take care of immediately, an outside group like this might be ideal for getting something started.
