[/caption]There has been a very large amount of rain in California causing widespread flooding and scattered mudslides. It's been raining for seven straight days, however, now the sun is finally out over the Qualcomm Stadium football field. The Poinsettia Bowl was scheduled for tonight, however, for a while it seemed like it wouldn't be happening. The stadium looked like a bathtub what with all of the flooding.
Despite the rain, however, the game will happen. Crews are preparing the field urgently and the Poinsettia Bowl Executive Director Bruce Binkowski told local news that the field is read. Some photos of the stadium verified that the field does, indeed, look great.
This feat was achieved by organizers covering the field with tarps during the rain, and then by pumping out the water on Wednesday. They left the logo drawing to be done early this morning. The start time for the game is 5:00 and it will be featuring the Aztecs taking on the Navy. It will go on exactly as was scheduled. Also, the parking lot has been cleared as well.
This is good news in the light of all the bad things that have been happening in California due to the rain. It shows that things can be done in spite of nature, and you just have to be smart and act fast.
Rainfall at rates of up to two-thirds of an inch per hour have been discoverd in California with some heavier burst seen in a few areas. This shows that it's not over yet, but you can still look forward to it ceasing. When the rain lets up it shouldn't be that big of a project to clean up the streets.
