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.

WTF? No devastating storms this year at the NSS convention???? And
I missed it. Maybe I've been bringing them with me......
Anyway, glad it went off without a hitch or hiccup. Sounds like a
missed a good one!

FYI, the awards ceremony went off without a hitch, the roof stayed
on the hall and there was no severe weather like last year. The
banquet room was almost full, the food was good, and the entire
banquet was very well organized, from food service and seating to
award presentations. There were nice pictures projected of all the
award winners.

Congratulations to Bill Stephens and Marvin Miller, new Fellows of
the National Speleological Society. My apologies if I've missed any
other Texans.
