Holding hands, studying together or going on a date at the Food Plaza \u2013 readers have witnessed plenty of romance on campus. But staff member Jaap may have seen the most remarkable scene of all. He submitted a compilation of video footage he recorded during the storm on 18 January 2018. The fierce wind blew people off their feet. In the video, a woman is swept off the pavement while a man clings to a lamppost. He grabs the woman, and together they embrace tightly around the pole. \u201cI wonder if this moment led to a romantic sequel?\u201d, Jaap muses. \u201cThe chances of tracking them down and finding out if they\u2019d like to share their story are slim, but still.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t
