New Dorm Collapses; One person dead
One killed, 4 trapped when dorm collapses on Rice campus | TOP STORIES | KHOU.com | News for Houston, Texas

I'm assuming this is talking about Duncan or McMurtry. Hopefully we'll find out more about this soon.

This is so tragic. So sorry to hear about injuries and one death. My thoughts go out to the whole Rice community.

This is so tragic. It must have been connected to the severe thunderstorm that rolled through Houston about that time today. There were very strong winds that came with the storm.

I'm impressed with the way the administration has been responding to the collapse. Also, there's been info about what happened on the website since the start.
