One time I entered the testing center just as a microburst hit

While taking my exam, I watched through the window as the storm toppled all these trees south of the testing center. I finished up just as the storm ended and surveyed all the upended tree roots all over campus. And the testing center went on in its inexorable way.

Very strange day.
