Currier Dhall Flooded; No Connection to Earl

Hurricane Earl passed over Cambridge last night with more of a whimper than a bang, but this Saturday afternoon finds the residents of Currier with a flooded house on their hands. The flooding does not appear to be related to the hurricane and last night's rainfall, but it has closed the house's dining hall for the time being, according to e-mails sent over Currierwire.

Plans for this afternoon's house barbecue appear to be on, but the dining hall will be closed for the foreseeable future. House administrators could not be reached for comment this afternoon, but according to chatter over the house e-mail list, the various wings of Currier appear to be slowly opening up. Tuchman and Daniels were accessible via open emergency exits.

A "big ass puddle" outside of the dining hall appears to have been cleaned up. We've contacted house administrators to get more information on the flooding but haven't been able to reach them. We'll get back to you with comment from them when it arrives.

For now: Quadlyfe!
