Rain Rain Go Away

Thursday, August 14th, 2008

Last night we showed School of Rock at Friendship Park. About 30 minutes before the end of the movie we began to see lightning off in the distance. Several of our volunteers have iPhones and pulled up the local weather radar showing an approaching storm cell. We prepared in case we had to cover up the electronics in a hurry and prepared for a record setting strike (Packup). We were able to complete the movie while the lightning got closer.

 

The strike was under 30 minutes last night with just a few drops falling on us before we left. Thankfully, again, we have the trailer which is much better than an open bed pickup in a storm! We were home before the heavy stuff had a chance to hit!

 

Phew!!
