Celtic Classic site under water

      
      
In the foreground are two vendor tents, behind that is
part of      
the athletic field, the bleachers, and the sponsors      
tent. Most of the athletic field appears to be above      
water, but it's probably a soupy mess. Other parts of      
the festival site (which is very large) are completely      
submerged.      
   
Below is the street my wife and I usually park on.

Those pictures are from the Morning Call newspaper. They were taken on Saturday. Other parts of the festival site are even worse.

The good news is, from the articles it sounds as if the water is receding quickly and organizers think they'll be able to have the area cleaned up in time. I don't know what that means in terms of the athletic field, though. I would expect it to be soggy. My wife's parents live a few miles away, and they lost some ornamental trees in their front yard because the ground was so saturated the roots ripped right out.

I'll be missing the games there for the first time in 12 years - looks like I picked the right time to do it.
