It was after the build. During the Peachtree Regional, literally a tornado was in the area, and it was hailing, and lightning hit the building a few minutes before the finals on Saturday and killed the field control equipment.
After about a 3.5 hour delay the heros on the site lashed together some manual control boxes to do the disable/auto mode and the UL Safety people were programmed to be the disable/enable/auto mode operators so we could have the matches and finish the regional.
RE snowflakes. We don't do snow. The stuff we have that we call snow is a lot more icy than they have up nawth. It doesn't have the same driveability as that stuff in Minnesota plus we don't have the gear to deal with it so we cancel school if there is a snowflake spotted by our hyperventilating news anchors.
