The storm’s early morning arrival caught outreach teams off-guard, leaving homeless residents stranded outside shelters, while campus winds ripped roofs and blew out windows. Despite missed alerts and widespread damage, the university kept power running and is already planning recovery. Officials say the situation could’ve been far worse—and normal operations will resume soon. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
