Yes, it was an interesting afternoon.  In fact 4 people in the SCA
including myself work on campus:  Baroness Genvieve, Lord Llewyllen and
Bohemond.  All of us are OK and in fact only found out about the tornado
after it hit as our office suite is in the basement.  Our building,
being brick and stone, took only minor damage.  Most of the big oak and
pine trees in front of it, however are gone.  And it took more than two
hours to get out of College Park last night.  The place looks like a war
zone.  Flipped over cars, trees and power lines down everywhere.
