Dr. Worthington describes the almost complete destruction of the chapel. Damage sustained by the chapel included a caved in roof, water damage, collapsed walls and shattered windows, particularly the Toomer Porter stained glass window. Dr. Worthington recounts MUSC President Dr. James B. Edwards' reaction upon seeing the devastated chapel.
