[Texascavers] Re: NSS Convention weather (was New NSS Fellows)
While it wasn't exactly devastating, there was a pretty severe thunderstorm on Wednesday night during the Campground Party/Terminal Syphons performance. It rained several inches and one edge of the campground flooded. A few tents were partially submerged and some people had wet sleeping bags. The creek running along one edge of the campground came within 6 inches of overtopping its banks, but didn't quite go over. If it had, many more people would have gotten wet.

Re: [Texascavers] Re: NSS Convention weather (was New NSS Fellows)
While I send my condolences to those who got hosed, I am relieved to know that the traditional NSS thunderstorm made its usual untimely appearance. Some of you scientists out there need to determine why, no matter where it's held, this event attracts such severe weather. Thanks for the update, Mark.

Stefan REALLY wants to get the local lake levels back up. Most are down some 30-40 feet. As Eugene Ebell used to say about his beautiful albeit dry travertine dams at Cave Without a Name, What we need here is a good 10 rain.
