Dozens of colleges in Florida and Georgia closed or canceled classes last week to wait out Hurricane Michael, the category-four hurricane that made landfall in the Florida panhandle Oct. 10.
Florida State University will reopen its main campus in Tallahassee on Monday after closing for five days. The city of Tallahassee suffered widespread power outages that included many student and faculty homes, but city officials hoped to have 90 percent restored by Sunday. Florida State's Panama City campus sustained water and roof damage, as well as multiple broken windows, and will remain closed until further notice while repair crews work to clean up the campus.
