He would also likely have been on foot between the College Town area and the 500 block of West Park Avenue. He may have interacted at length with students and patrons of the nightclubs and restaurants in the area.

So proud of FSU Housing going the extra mile to accommodate the residents of DeGraff Halls still without power tonight. Air conditioned space in Oglesby Union Ballrooms. Cots from Florida SERT. What an awesome team effort!

9/3/16 6:00PM - HERMINE RECOVERY UPDATE: Power has been restored to a majority of buildings on campus. FSU officials are now focusing on remaining buildings that are fed via other routes from the city. Buildings may have other issues in addition to electrical power and all are being inspected to make sure everything is working properly. Be assured university staff continues to work around the clock in order to restore the university to full operational capacity. All residence halls on campus now have power, except DeGraff, which is on a different electrical grid. FSU is continuing to work on the issue with the City of Tallahassee. Housing staff is contacting and working directly with DeGraff residents on relief activities. Other FSU buildings and facilities not located on the main campus are still without power. Be advised even though power may be on in a campus building, it takes time for the central chilling system and air conditioning to restore air temperatures to comfortable levels. Facilities staff continues to address other campus maintenance issues as the university prepares to return to full operational status. Thank you for your continued patience and cooperation.
