DFA1970 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Just read that 4 people in Washington DC were severely injured by lightning strikes. So even if it's not rain...lighting could be an issue. Edited August 5, 2022 by DFA1970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d think their d###### would figure it out. Find some shelter. This is, what i see, the biggest issue with Allentown. Storms come in fast and there is nowhere to shelter, aside from limited bathroom space. Most have to run through the park, with all of those trees, to get back to their cars. A good 1/4 mile, easy. If you aren’t mobile, or able to handle the distance, you kind of just sit there and hope for the best. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno about up there but in DC it poured with heavy lightning a lot from evening and in the night. FYI folks, if you didn't get this drilled into your heads as kids, don't use trees for cover if there's lightning. 4 people found this out the hard way yesterday in Lafayette Park. I’m following the WFMZ weather app. They have a good track record. So far the worst for tonight is a 55% change at 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use Allentown for the Cadets Wednesday night show, always held two nights before the Allentown weekend. Acoustic and logistical nightmare. It would make the old rca dome sound good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BD comes into Allentown undefeated and wham...they lose to not the eventual DCI winner but the Cavaliers. To me BAC has all the guns to win this outright from Allentown to Indy. This year they have edited their productions from the 2018 and 19 and focus on a well-focused show. Phantom on Saturday if I recall actually had the highest score of the weekend but BD and Cavies weee Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
