Students were concerned about the sudden storm weather, which included lightning, that began around 10 a.m., according to the National Weather Services for Salt Lake City. But U students did not receive notifications through e-mail, telephone or text message from the U Emergency Program until about 2:30 p.m. The emergency e-mails and texts informed students to expect the storm to reach campus, but gallons of rain and cracks of lightning were already at the U.
