Check the Lakeland newspaper, the Lakeland Ledger.


Also youtube. First time some folks saw horizontal rain.

One of the tents that collapsed was the 99s tent, where they were feting
surviving WASPS. Fortunately, nobody there was seriously injured, but
everything got wet.

I hope they managed to find a hall to honour those women. They earned it.

A local 99, Pat Ohlsson, was there and said that they had 8 WASPs,
ranging from 84 to 93 years old -- none was seriously hurt. She said
that one told her that it was the most fun she had had in years.

She said that they all felt like drowned rats for awhile.
