white_falcon 0 #1 August 25, 2005 I am going as part of a large group to the tunnell in Orlando this weekend and was wondering if the impending weather should have an effect on our plans. I understand if the power goes out but I mean if there is just "bad" weather. Anyone have any idea?? Thanks, Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyskydiver 0 #3 August 25, 2005 If the power goes out, they do their best to restore power and get it up and running. If it's raining, get your ass in the tunnel. They'll run the tunnel unless it gets too painful for you to be in and then you can get out. Oh...and a side note...gray jumpsuits go see through in rain.

White_falcon, if it's raining in the tunnel, put trash bags in your jumpsuit. That will help to keep you warmer and dry.May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
white_falcon 0 #5 August 26, 2005 hey thanks guys. I am supposed to go w/ a whole group and was told that if the outside weather gets bad they close the tunnell cause that affects the tunnel air. I KNOW if the power goes out its a done deal. lol Hopefully we can get'er done. Scott Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #6 August 27, 2005 I was in the tunnel as hurricane charie approached. The power was not reliable, so they kept us flying near the grate. Eventually the power went out and a thunderstorm came in so that was the end of it. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
