“(The storm) has impacted me a lot, causing me to leave my house about thirty minutes earlier because I take the bus everyday. The Orange Line had to get some work done after the first flooding, it really slowed me down even more. Hopefully that doesn’t happen again because of this storm.” -Micah Whitely, 18, Freshman
