This weather not only brings with it the appearance of ridiculous patterned rain boots all over campus (Yes, I know they keep your feet dry, but couldn’t you have gone with a pair that didn’t have neon-zebra stripes all over them?), but it also makes trouble for students and professors who have to commute to Main Campus.

SEPTA’s website reports that service on the following regional rail lines are suspended due to flooding: Chestnut Hill West, Lansdale/Doylestown, Manayunk/Norristown, Warminster and West Trenton. A number of local buses are also experiencing detours.

Earlier this morning, officials reported that the road on Kelly Drive was beginning to buckle, and a mud slide was reported on Ridge Avenue at the I-76 interchange. Portions of Main Street, Kelly Drive, Lincoln Drive and Ridge Avenue are all closed. Officials said that if Schuylkill flooding continues, Kelly Drive will remain closed until at least Friday.

Did you have a nightmare commute to Main Campus today? Did your professor cancel class because they couldn’t get there? Comment and let us know.

The university released a TU Advisory at 1:31 p.m. yesterday stating that Philadelphia Police are investigating a non-Temple related robbery and rape that occurred at approximately 4:30 a.m. in the rear alley of the 2300 block of Park Avenue.

The suspect was described as a black male in his mid-20s, being about 5 feet, 7 inches tall and wearing jeans, a dark shirt and was reportedly armed with a black handgun.

Anyone with information regarding the incident is encouraged to contact Philadelphia Special Victims Unit at 215-686-3251.

The advisory reminded students that the university offers Owl Loop for on-campus transportation, and TUr Door provides shuttle services from 5:30 p.m. through 6 a.m. for students living at off-campus residences in the surrounding neighborhoods.
