Behind the stands, the staff at the arena was aware of the situation and they were preventing people from going near the windows during the storm. There were quite a few people that found out about the weather and were trying to get pictures and stand near the windows to watch it. Thankfully everyone in the arena was safe and the staff was able to keep the small group of people under control and away from the windows.
We had a group that was in the airport when the storm hit and they ended up holing up in the bathrooms. Everyone ended up being safe but that's how we found out about it.

On a slightly lighter note, someone mentioned this to me - if Dean hadn't spoken for so long/we hadn't replayed the matches... people could potentially have been outside, walking to their buses or hotels when the weather started. Maybe there was a slight silver lining to the Einstein issues...

Libby, that's a great point that we should all keep in mind!
