Derrick Burns, a sophomore from Chicago studying criminal justice, rides his bike Saturday in front of Brush Towers during the flash flood.  Students were asked by law enforcement to get out of the water because of hazardous conditions.  Burns said he was on his way to visit his girlfriend. “Now that I’m soaking wet, love will just have to wait,” he said. – Nicole Hester | Daily Egyptian
