Severe Weather Hits Mayaguez - ESU Team Safe

Severe weather hit the southwest coast of Puerto Rico this morning causing power outages and damage to properties. In Mayaguez, site of the XXI CAC Games, a number of workers were injured when the high winds caused the stage for the Opening Ceremony to collapse. Crews are working to restore the stage and replace lights that were brought down when the "tromba marina" struck the coast of Mayaguez. The team of athletic trainers were reviewing schedules in their Boqueron accommodations when news of the severe weather was reported. All students and faculty are safe and looking forward to the start of the games tomorrow.
