Jonathan Cheek of Rockford, a graphic design student at Wright State University-Lake Campus of Celina, poses near huge chunks of ice that landed on shore Tuesday night and Wednesday morning and created a towering presence to the rear of the campus. The unusual sight was due, in part, to the high winds that struck the local area overnight Tuesday.
