Everyone living in Southern California felt the madness of the weeklong storm that occurred two weeks ago. Cerritos College students sure felt it too.
‘

Martin Reyes, undecided major, said that worst part about going to school during the storm was for him, ‘being on crutches and parking.’
‘

Business major, Lauren Ragan said the most difficult part of going to school during the storm was, ‘finding parking that wasn’t flooded.’
‘

The rainstorm did not cause much damage to the campus, besides the many leaks some buildings suffered.
‘

Librarian Mary Augugliaro said, ‘We had probably four leaks.’
They had to remove a computer because of a leak and had to set up trashcans in many areas to help catch the laking water.
‘

Another building hit hard by the storms was The Business Education building.
‘

Joy Snef, Division Secretary of the Business Education Department, mentions that many leaks did not come from the ceiling but rather came from the windows.
‘

Ironically the older windows were not the problem but it was the newly installed windows that leaked water.
‘

Snef also mentions that many textbooks and personal belongings were damaged; the problems have not been fixed.
‘

Estella Castillo a custodian worker says that a quick fix they used in the physical science building was to, ‘put rags on the windows.’She also mentioned that the problems have’ been fixed.
