Have just seen this thread and watched the video. My brother lives in Ormond Beach which is only 3/4 miles north of Daytona. I have just rung him to see how they were and how much damage if any they had suffered. The amazing thing is that they didn't even know it had happened until they saw it on local TV.

As students were on the Christmas break there have been few injuries.
University officials have stated that they hope to be able to resume classes for the spring semester.
