USM-GC still standing!
Permalink Closed

Mercury News in Cailfornia is the only outlet I've seen that has mentioned anything on the status of USM-GC


http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/news/12518001.htm


"The stately homes and apartment complexes that lined the shore of Long Beach. The University of Southern Mississippi Gulf Coast campus was pretty much the only structure still standing."

That quote came from a list of buildings that were destroyed on the Gulf Coast

USM-GC is shown in this 20 min. footage from WLBT (click on "Skycopter on the Gulf Coast--2nd tour." I wouldn't exactly call it "still standing"--more like "there are some recognizable buildings that you can see remnants of." Somewhere (can't remember where now), they said that the Friendship Oak made it through, though. That's something.

In shock still,

Truth

Thanks for posting this link.
The video shows the GCRL, not the Gulf Park campus, which nonetheless looks very badly damaged. It skips over the Gulf Park campus and shows downtown Long Beach and the K-Mart--all destroyed.

I just watched that video, and the pilot is referring to a campus in Ocean Springs, not the Gulf Coast Campus.
