Power outage on campus

It’s crisis communications time at UMR, where most of the campus is without power. I work in one of the few buildings on campus that still have electricity and web access.

The outage occurred last night — ironically, during a campus celebration of Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. I got the call from our facilities director around 1 a.m.

Classes are cancelled this morning, and likely will be this afternoon.
