Day 4 - Here comes the rain again

Tuesday, August 09, 2005


It was another beautiful day here until about 7:00pm when the skies opened up. The weather report was calling for rain, however no one ever listens to the weather report. It wasn't until the police actually put out a storm warning that everyone got serious.



The lightning and thunder are amazing, however the volume of the rain is of biblical proportions. Apparently the photo finish room is now flooded with water, so the 200 meters race has now been delayed until tomorrow, and the rest of the events for today may also be cancelled.





So much for Athletics not being affected by the weather...
