Not claiming this will happen here, but just going to mention this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Flood_of_1862

>The event was capped by a warm intense storm that melted the high snow load. The resulting snow-melt flooded valleys, inundated or swept away towns, mills, dams, flumes, houses, fences, and domestic animals, and ruined fields. It has been described as the worst disaster ever to strike California.

I'd have to know the context for that one, sometimes that kind of story is actually just "professor is so bad at teaching that the majority of the class fails the exam because the professor didn't properly prepare them". Or even a situation where they teach or test a 200 level course as if it's a graduate level one, and then act like it's the students' fault when none of the sophomores know what's going on.
