The task committee came up with a plan to take us around or away
from the storm, but the storms would not have it.

Big Spring after very little rain if any since December has suddenly received
quite a bit of it.

We all went south down the taxi way to the launch area and setup (or hauled out
gliders down from the hangars).

The cu-nimbs were developing all around us and the safety committee was meeting
to determine if we could fly. The weird thing was that we could be the lines of
cu's in the distance but they weren't showing up on MyRadar (http://www.myradar.com/).
Some people were more convinced by the phone App then what their eyes are
clearly telling them when they looked out to the west toward the first
turnpoint.

Finally the phone app caught up with reality and they saw the gap between the
airport and the first turnpoint fill in with red on their phones. The task was
called and then the rain in the distance started.

Soon the gust front came as we got all the gliders broken down or back into the
hangars. Not long after that the rains came and it pours down hard. 0.40 inches
of rain recorded at the airport over half an hour.

We'll see if tomorrow is a repeat or not.
