UD escapes major damage from Isabel Click here for photos by Eric Crossan, Kevin Quinlan and Duane Perry. I think that we fared a lot better than some other areas in the state, Lawrence O. Thornton, director of public safety at UD, said. Aside from tree and limb damage, we did pretty wellwe had no flooding and no major damage to any of our buildings. Our students were very cooperative, heeded our advice and stayed in their residence halls at the height of the storm, he said. Several trees were blown over or split apart. The worst area hit was near Old College, where two 75-foot-high Linden trees were uprooted. The trees are estimated to be 70-90 years old. According to Public Safety, there was no flooding or visible wind damage on the Hugh R. Sharp Campus in Lewes. Click here for previously posted storm information.
