You know the drill! Stay updated with this week´s copy of the Tropolitan!

Earlier, The Tropolitan shared photos of businesses that had been damaged by a tornado. Here are pictures from a neighborhood near Elm Street, just over 5 minutes from campus.

A resident in this neighborhood told the Tropolitan that they used to tell everyone, “they lived in the woods,” but now, so many trees have fallen, they can no longer make the same statement. Logs and debris have overtaken the streets and at least two residences are heavily damaged.

No fatalities have been reported in Troy.

📸 Emily Mosier

Tornado damage can seen in Troy today. Here are photos of businesses that have been damaged.

Pictures 1-7: The Juicy Crab, Shell, Mikata and Viet’s Pho all had some level of damage. Building and vehicle windows were shattered, and debris wrapped around light poles and hung in the trees.

Pictures 8-11: The Troy Recreational Center, where over 200 people were sheltering last night, had significant roof damage and flooding. No one was injured, but insulation can be seen several yards around the building. When looking through the windows, observers can see that portions of the roof are completely gone.

Pictures 12-17: Additional damage, downed power lines and fallen billboards can be seen as linemen work to repair the damage and restore power to those who lost it.

Our reporters were in Selma, Alabama Sunday to cover the 60th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday, when civil rights protestors were beaten while crossing the Edmund Pettus Bridge.

Several Troy University students were there, including @simonbrown.tv_ for @troytvnews, @emilymosiernews and @j4cklayne for @troypublicradio, and Morgan Ealy for @thetropolitan

Pick up a copy of The Tropolitan on Thursday to read about the reenactment, which included thousands of people from across the country.
