Muskogee's Bacone College is beginning to cleanup from the storm that hit Green Country two weeks ago. Work-study students are earning their money cleaning up the damage, but it has officials worried it may not be ready for move-in day.
"I had to run off to a room man, it was pretty scary," Bacone College senior Adonis Porter said. "It was shaking and the lights just cut out on me. I was like five seconds away of crying."
"It was crazy, I didn't think I was going to live," Junior Marquan Durant said.
The storm a few weeks ago shook students and damaged the campus at Muskogee's Bacone College.
"It was a good like 160 hours to pick all this stuff up because it was a good two or three weeks of work we had to do," Porter said.
With school a month away, students are rushing to cleanup.
"We have a a team of fifteen students who are working here on a work-study program," Bacone College President Franklin Willis said. "They've been working full-time and more, it doesn't matter how hot it is, they're working."
Willis says the storm destroyed a dorm and tore apart the student cafeteria.
"I'm in my seventies and I've seen a lot of weather and this was the scare of my life," Willis said.
Students were living in the dorm when the storm hit, but luckily weren't hurt.
"We found some safe ground in the Inn's in one of the room.," Durant said.
The students in the work-study program are working their best to make sure their classmates can move in before classes start August 24th.
