The Danforth Campus at Washington University in St. Louis suffered moderate damage in the deadly tornado that devastated parts of St. Louis May 16, including damaged building roofs and concrete. Additionally, the storm took down multiple large trees that blocked roads and triggered widespread power and technology outages. But that pales in comparison to the loss throughout the region, Chancellor Andrew D. Martin said.
