Semicolon help

I need some help with determine which of the following statements show incorrect semicolon usage. The resources I have around for helping me with this are limited, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

1. Coaching became George's second life; in fact, his only life!

2. The picture of Alison was taken last night; she had food plastered all over her face!

3. When he wasn't coaching, he seemed at odds with the world; teaching the children gave him an outlet to calm his nerves.

4. Her strength was gone; her legs collapsed beneath her.

Thanks,

Chodry
