I have to say, as much as I enjoy watching TV coverage of severe weather, I got a strange feeling in my stomach as we watched the radar images showing the worst part of the storm passing within a mile of her dorm. I figured a big, old building like her\u2019s was pretty stout, and she had moved to a safe location inside of it.
