Most people on the University of La Verne campus Tuesday and Wednesday traded in their flip flops for sneakers and boots. The 80 percent chance of rain did not let up through both days. / photo by Erin MaxwellThe first rainy day of the season Tuesday was the day everyone anticipated after the long lingering heat wave of the summer. Students walked around in the rain unlike any other day while others carried umbrellas and sought shelter whenever possible. The newest roof on the Campus Center, was a good shelter area from the rain. However, the wet climate did not last long, temperatures are expected to exceed 80 degrees this weekend. / photo by Cindy Harder
A live oak tree fell in Sneaky Park on Wednesday morning, taking a city light pole with it. This is the third historic live oak to fall on the University of La Verne campus since January due to heavy winter rainstorms.
Brandt Hall and Stu-Han are notorious for being the only dorms on campus still without any air conditioning. This puts residents at risk for heat-related illnesses.
