The tornadoes that swept through Jacksonville a year ago Tuesday damaged more than just the JSU campus.
They also destroyed a Dollar General, a Chevron Food Mart, a small grocery store, and the sanctuary of West Point Baptist Church. All but the church have been rebuilt. But they also left their mark in two nearby neighborhoods full of homes.
They were both located near Jacksonville State, and were so full of debris and such a prime target for looters, they were blocked off at one point for about three weeks.
Now, they're partly rebuilt, but not totally.
Some are rebuilt but empty, awaiting their families.
Some are still tornado damaged and apparently abandoned. There's at least one two blocks from JSU and the school is visible from the house's front yard.
Some are still awaiting repairs.
