"Chicago? Well, the weather there is pretty bad..."

--A common statement by people from other parts of the country

The storm is finally over, but it certainly left its mark on campus. There are still lakes in the Midway, and walking to class yesterday, I noticed at least three trees that were completely uprooted. These are not just any normal trees. These are enormous 80+ year-old monstrosities that simply fell over in the wind and lightning. The power is back on everywhere, but there are still piles of branches and debris scattered about. See the following link for pictures:
