Before Sandy, there was Gloria and David: Hurricane damage on campus.

As many are still recov­er­ing from Hur­ri­cane Sandy here at Prince­ton and through­out the east coast we take a look at how the Uni­ver­sity sur­vived past super storms and hurricanes.

Within the Prince­ton Uni­ver­sity Archives and the Office of Com­mu­ni­ca­tions Records (AC168) we found a num­ber of pho­tos from Hur­ri­cane David ‚which unleashed its fury on cam­pus on Sep­tem­ber 8, 1979. These pho­tos were taken the fol­low­ing day.

Ten years later, Hur­ri­cane Glo­ria caused dam­age yet again. These pho­tos are dated Sep­tem­ber 27th 1989.
