I know that everyone in St. Louis is already working to clean up the airport so that we can have a great championship, but please also remember that their own lives are impacted as well and keep them in your prayers.
Sometimes is it easy to lose sight of what is really important here. I hope that all is well is St. Louis and the surrounding area. And if you hear an update from teams in the area as well, let us know.

Re: St. Louis airport just hit by tornado

Although all of us have concerns about how the second half of this week is going to go for us, St. Louis is still reeling with the immediate aspects of this disaster to their city. Please keep them in mind as they deal with their losses.

Amazingly, the St. Louis Mayor just announced that their goal is to get airport back to 70% capacity by tomorrow, and 100% capacity by midweek - assuming they get power back today. The Airport Director also said the airfield is now already back to fully functional level.

As Bill gave us an indication this morning, the FIRST leadership is working furiously to get information and will pass it on to us as soon as they know.

I know its hard - but just stand by for the facts as they become available.

Re: St. Louis airport just hit by tornado

I did call my airline, and as of now there are no delays, and my flight is supposed to depart and arrive on schedule. I am cautiously optimistic that this will continue to be the case.

Re: St. Louis airport just hit by tornado

As guests in the city, we should make an effort to do some fundraising for the folks affected by the storm. Any ideas out there?

I just spoke with Frank at 931. He confirmed that the address above is the freight depot where the robots are held, and said he had not seen any news reports of storm damage in that part of St. Louis. So hopefully the robots are ok.

He is checking with team members in various parts of the St. Louis metro area, and I hope all the people are ok, too. My thoughts and prayers are with many St. Louis area friends today. I hope to be seeing all of you safe and healthy in a few days.

What airline are you flying in on? If we compile a list of airlines that are tentivley on schedule we could probably save several different groups of people a good deal of time and effort.

Re: St. Louis airport just hit by tornado

I know Airline folks: The latest word (as of last night) has been said: The airport is closed until further notice.

The other thing they said is that the airlines might fly passengers as close as they can to STL and bus them in, but thats all speculation. If any teams are driving and know that a team relatively close to them plans on flying- see what you can do to help. Carpooling or just taking some of their items with you will make it easier for everyone involved.

Re: St. Louis airport just hit by tornado

According to Bill's Blog, robots and field supplies are unharmed. That's good news.
Quote:
Good Afternoon Teams,

Staff and volunteers in St Louis tell me the Edward Jones Dome, the America's Center, the warehouse where the robots are stored and the 10 trucks with fields & supplies are all unharmed.

4 days to Championship
See you then
