It's no secret that Colorado has "expansive soils" (clay and such that expand and contract with moisture). A few weeks ago our Broomfield campus got a reminder when the power went out.
It was just like someone cut the cable going to the building -- bummer! But, somehow, this happened during the Sun July 4 shutdown so no one was around. But you can imagine havok this wreaks on systems in the buildings. Major systems have backup power but there are things like minor labs and such that don't need this kind of aggravation.
