Re: Are all Houston area teams surviving the flooding?

Last year's floods were memorial day, so wouldn't have affected a Houston CMP that year. This year's floods obviously would have affected a Houston CMP, since it'd be happening right now. I think CMP could have still gone on, but there would have been issues getting things set up and getting teams and volunteers in. But it's not like we regularly schedule extreme flooding events here. Last year and this were both highly unlikely events.

And it's not like weather affecting Champs is unheard of. There was a hailstorm in 2012 during Einstein, and there have been several tornado and severe thunderstorm warnings during STL Champs over the years. Back in the dark ages of pre-2003 EPCOT Champs, with outdoor fields and pits in tents, there was a day it rained so hard the pits flooded and the power had to be turned off.

The weather is the weather, and Spring pretty universally means a chance for rough weather. As long as we're holding events indoors, we're doing about the best we can to mitigate the risks.
