Hurricane Isabel - September 19, 2003

Hurricane Isabel lost some of its punch as it travelled through the mid-Atlantic region but it still delivered plenty of wind and rain to central Pennsylvania. Damage around campus was relatively minor, as branches and small limbs were blown off trees, although one large tree did come down. While most schools in the region were closed, Dickinson remained open on Friday.
