Slideshow: Windstorm damages NIC
Nearly two weeks after the fact, clean-up crews continue to remove debris and restore damage ensued by the windstorm earlier this month.
Raging winds, reportedly reaching 61 mph in CDA the morning of Wednesday, Jan. 13, toppled over dozens of trees on the NIC campus.
Certain campus amenities, such as the Children’s Center and Writing Center have indefinitely been shut down while the buildings await completed restoration.
Students and others visiting the campus have been asked to avoid certain areas, including the park behind Seiter Hall, where the wreckage is most outstanding so that clean-up crews may work undisturbed until the campus is restored to its normal state.
Numerous trees along the lakeside road around campus were toppled during the windstorm, leaving some streets inaccessible until the debris was cleared.
