There are 10,000 trees on CSU's campus and approximately 1,000 have been damaged in addition to those that fell. The university says the toll is worse than in an epic storm in 2003.

CSU officials say they have crews checking for damage and removing limbs, but they say it will take a while for crews to get to all the trees.
