Hey Cotcher, I have it under control at Command Central; go grab you a beer and some supper and head back after.

More lightning flashed just now. Look like it's  in campus just on the other side of I-35.

 

[joeywa]

And yet another strike of lightening.  7:45 earliest start now.

Game officially cancelled.

Well that was fun.

If I get struck by lightning on the way to the car, I want y'all to know how much I love you.

Just buy a Lotto ticket beforehand and sign my name to it.  Odds are about the same.

most unlucky guy who ever lived. I read about him a long time ago. I really felt for him when he took his life.

Ol' Roy shot himself because he was heartbroken.  As often as he was struck by lightening, he should've bought a Lotto ticket weekly.  Probably would have had lots of money, and therefore lots of women. 

Although, now that I think about it, he still may have died from a gunshot wound, but perhaps not from his own hand.

Well, that seems an appropriate end to the 2015 home baseball season

Game will NOT be rescheduled.

It was cloudy all day in Austin with a 20% chance of rain. For the last 2-3 years that's a guarantee that it won't rain.

Lightning strikes started around 5:30 and continued, without rain, for 90 minutes. They finally cancelled the game around 7:00 and as soon as the stadium emptied, the skies cut loose with rain.

It's still raining & there's a flash flood watch until after 11pm.

In summary: Heavy lightning; Game cancelled; Soaked people; Flash Floods.....all from a 20% chance of rain.

 

[joeywa]

In summary, being a weatherman pays, regardless of accuracy

Game will NOT be rescheduled.

so you're saying we still have a chance in this game?
