NASHVILLE, TENN – On Friday, Mar. 2, the National Weather Service, along with the local news stations, warned the mid-state of the potential for severe weather. The meteorologists’ predictions were nearly spot on as the storms produced several tornado warnings as well as numerous severe thunderstorm warnings. Many students and faculty were advised to seek shelter on on campus, waiting out the storms in basements, closets, interior hallways and the backs of parking garages. Once the threatening storms had passed and the university had given the all-clear, those same students and faculty documented what the storm left behind. The following is a slideshow compromised of TwitPics, Instagrams and Facebook photos that those folks posted throughout the afternoon and evening. The following video is from Lumination correspondents Caitlin Selle and Kelly Dean.

As the weather begins to change, you will start to see these new and exciting trends appear all over Lipscomb’s fashion-forward campus. Take my advice and don’t get caught wearing last season’s picks. Lacy Layers: Add a piece of lace into your everyday outfit. You can dress it up or down. Make sure it doesn’t show too much. Make it your own and keep it classy. Leopard Splash: Throw a bit of leopard print into your ensemble. Think shoes, bags, belts, or a simple scarf, but don’t overdo it. Neon Pop: Now get ready for the brightest of brights: neon! If you are not ready to go all the way with this trend, buy a neon belt and pair it with a gray dress. If you are really ready for the trend, take that belt and put it with the dress, then put a neon-hued cardigan over the top. Chunky Knits: Made to look hand-knitted, they have a variety of shapes and necklines, offering warmth and a snuggly sensuality. They are perfect for a cool autumn day, worn with a pair of your favorite skinny jeans or leggings. Color Blocking: After seasons of frills and flowers, color blocking is a strong pattern for the fall. This trend will work for all fashionistas and can be seen in different looks. Mixing Prints: This can be a tricky concept to grasp, but that’s part of the fun. When quirky patterns click, the result is an artful collage that warrants a second glance. Find pieces linked by a common color scheme or mood. It’s the best when they come together in varied proportions and...
