i talked to the cops on Saturday morning and they said everybodys rooms (with the exception of 2nd floor) are okay.

however, while your stuff may be intact, there could still be possible heat damage because of the smoke, but this is unlikely, considering our doors are designed to be fire/smoke proof for a certain amount of time (i think somebody told me 2-3 hours).

Well, people who are living 6th floor and up, they won't be moving back for the rest of the year. People living 5th floor and below might have a chance to return in January.

This is the most depressing news I have ever heard. I can't believe it's just all over. There goes my residence experience. I have enjoyed every single moment at Brandon Hall. I love you guys. Thanks for everything ninth floor...I'm never going to forget a single moment at Brandon.
