Flood waters ripping through my bedroom.

"We were three African students arriving from Malawi for the first time in the United States. It snowed heavily, we felt very cold and I remember staying indoors and missing orientation as we could not stand the weather. Later it rained heavily and there was the flood of Fort Collins (1998 if I am not mistaken) and I remember flood waters ripping through my bedroom. I had to get out of the apartment through the window.
"The professor I remember most is Dr. Terry Podmore. He was everything to us and treated us a father and mentor. Through his patience and guidance, I am now an aid worker assisting internal displaced persons in Darfur, Sudan."
