A post-tornado look at Macon State College.

Initially planted in the late 1960s, the grounds contained several botanical gardens, countless flowers, and large stands of pine trees.

No more. I'd estimate that less than 20% of MSC's trees survived, many of the buildings were damaged (especially the construction zone), and, as I blogged in this before-and-after piece, I'm concerned for the ducks.

Review the campus only a few weeks before. I've added a couple of photographs to that gallery, as well.

Note: More photographs will be posted in the coming days. Thanks for checking back.
