I too was hoping we could get at least one more run in, but several of us 
observed a lightning strike within a half a mile of the event site that 
made it imperative to get off the lot ASAP. Shortly after that decision was 
made a security person from the Casino came out to inform us that a storm 
cell was approaching with 60-70 MPH winds and golf ball size hail, 
confirming that there was no way the event could continue. Hopefully our 
"weather stewards" will be more cooperative for Waterloo... <G>
