Hurricane Ian Doesn’t Spare SMU Students

SMU students from Florida are still likely to feel the effects of hurricane season when they make the move to Dallas.

As of Wednesday, Sept. 28 at 2:23 p.m. CST, Category 4 Hurricane Ian made landfall near Fort Myers, Fla., and was forecast to move into central Florida overnight Wednesday and Thursday.

Students like sophomore Bellie Woods feel nostalgic about preparing for storms in Florida while growing up. When Hurricane Ian was moving quickly toward Florida, Woods said she wished she could be with family and friends.

“Obviously, it’s scary but all of my friends in college are all off of school and together and I’m missing out on all of the fun,” Woods said.
