    In the middle of a day of thunderstorms, including a severe thunderstorm warning in Murfreesboro around 3:00 p.m., Middle Tennessee State University's campus saw significant storm damage.

    Community members sent us pictures of trees down on top of cars from what appears to be wind damage, according to our Storm 5 meteorologist Henry Rothenberg. That included an overturned MTSU football equipment trailer.

    You can watch the trailer being overturned by strong winds in the player below.

    "Police dispatch said there are a few trees down around campus and there was localized flooding in some areas, but no injuries were reported," MTSU spokesperson Jimmy Hart said. "Power was out briefly for some parts of campus."

    As of 3:50 p.m., there were about 1,200 reported power outages in Rutherford County, but no tornado warnings took place in the area — only thunderstorm warnings. The National Weather Service says it is possible there was a tornado in Murfreesboro, but they will not be able to confirm until tomorrow.

    Below are the pictures of the MTSU campus damage we received.

    “Here’s a great story that proves everyone has something to give, regardless of age OR personal challenges. Our Austin Pollack introduces us to Ms Sylvia Mooney. At age 80, she’s not sitting still. Instead, she using her skills to craft compassion for others… one stitch at a time. Her crochet creations go to non-profits to help our homeless neighbors. You’ll be surprised to learn she does it all, while facing a serious health issue. Bravo Sylvia!”
