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. Now I know all in well in the world order.

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.
