I was there in the upper deck. We watched the storm coming and knew that whoever was ahead when that storm hit would win. We weren't ahead when it hit.Normally it takes lightning. But if there's a real risk of flash flooding the schools may opt for a more conservative approach. CBS, I'm sure, will be pushing to play the game.
By chance, how many of y'all were in Legion Field for the '83 Auburn game when the funnel cloud blew over the stadium, the rain came in sideways, and the weather got so bad that the band and cheerleaders left?
NWS is putting that storm 750 miles southeast of Athens at 1:00pm Sat as of 4:00 today FWIWHow fast will 3-5 inches of rain drain off of that field? if it comes down fast enough, accumulation could be a factor...
That could actually cause a dealy. Games have been delayed or worse case even cancelled and later reschedule due to flooding on the field.
Too bad they didn't schedule it in the dome in Atlanta...
yep, we're saturated here in atlantaMorning weather geek update: Still 3 to 5 " and pretty stiff winds. The problem with this storm is that it's been raining for more than a week in Georgia and the Carolinas. The forecast is even worse north of Athens, with up to 10 inches of rain in the Greenville-Charlotte corridor.
The NWS in Columbia now saying 6.7" of rain in Athens between now and 8pm Sunday. My back yard was already a bog this morning.yep, we're saturated here in atlanta
