=== The Incident ===
One fateful night at McConnell Hall, there was a tornado watch and winds howled outside. Alarms began to go off. Naturally, one would expect it to be tornado alarms, but in fact, it was a fire alarm! The student body was ushered outside into [[Mac Park]] in cold, windy weather wearing just what they had on them.

=== Cause ===
According to legend, the cause was [[Austin Liu]] microwaving popcorn for an extensive amount of time in [[Student Activity Center|SAC]]. Rumor has it that he microwaved it for several minutes (!), causing it to burn, and the resulting smoke set off the fire alarm.
