I'm from Alabama.

I had no idea what it was and I jsut thought it was someone slamming a door on another floor. But the next morning all I was hearing all day was did you feel the earthquake last night? some people said that it was so strong where they were that it woke them up! It turns out that there HAD been an earthquake in Mentone, Alabama, about 150 miles away. (And funny enough, Mentone is the town where I went to summer camp -Camp Skyline- when I was young, and where I was a counselor later that summer.)

In 2004, we had 3 hurricanes hit during recruitment/spirit week. There were some days that had to be done at night, in the middle of the day during classes, and on the weekends. And if you did not make it a night it was not like you were cut right away, because of the extrenuating circumstances.

I believe this recruitment went on for an additional week or two, outside the normal time period. I remember hearing my sisters say how they didn't get to do mock recruitments and such because the school was closed due to hurricanes.

Bid Day was on a Thursday that year, and I remember we had a little ice cream gatherintg before we could actually have a real bid day on the weekend!

Crazy Florida weather!

My freshman year of college, it was 75 degrees on chapel day. It isn't that big of a deal, except that chapel day normally happens on the Sunday before Martin Luther King Day. Normally we have an inch or so of snow on the ground at this time of the year.
