Midwest Colleges Struggle to Bounce Back From Hurricane's Fury
A few days after the remnants of Hurricane Ike swept through the Midwest after pounding coastal Texas and Louisiana, colleges and universities across Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, and other states in the region continued to be hamstrung on Tuesday by wide-ranging power outages and flooding. . . . Ohio colleges are trying to clear debris and restore power after the state saw hurricane-force winds over the weekend as Ike made its way through the Ohio Valley. Repairs to the electrical grid could be delayed because a number of utility workers from Ohio were sent to help restore infrastructure hammered by Ike in Texas, before the extent of the damage in Ohio became clear. But some utility companies in Ohio are recalling their workers, according to the Associated Press.
