9-02-10 brings Armed Robbers and "Hurricane" Earl

Yesterday was to my excitement 90210 (September 2, 1010) ! Get it, like Beverly Hills, 90210! Although I was a little young for that show, I watched it all the time. I was in love with Jason Priestley (I thought he was related to Elvis).

Much like the drama of that show yesterday brought a lot of drama to the CNU campus. First of all we have been on our toes waiting to see if Hurricane Earl was going to hit us here, ODU and The University of Richmond?? had classes canceled because of it. We have yet to be evacuated and the only effects we have seen are a few raindrops and some wind.

Then at approximately 8:40/8:45 yesterday morning an armed robber robbed the VA Educators Credit Union in the CNU Village. CNU started sending out a barage of texts about 8:50 telling everyone to get to a secure location, barricade the doors, close the blinds and turn off the lights. When the first text was sent out I was in my bathroom getting ready for class, I had just gotten off work at 8:30 and walked back to my apartment, in the CNU Village. This means at about the same time he was robbing the credit union I was walking right by and right by where he ran off. My roommate yelled from her room to look outside and we could see the Police putting up the caution tape. CNU probably sent out about 10 text messages instructing everyone on campus that we were on lockdown and to stay put until the all clear, which came about two hours later. Let me just tell you I was not exactly comfortable walking around when they were searching for a guy with a glock.

So the weekend begins on a great note am I right?
