Although last week did not bring thunderstorms or a tornado, the women’s meet instead brought a fire alarm. The final night of competition was stopped and the building was evacuated after the fire alarm was pulled in the middle of platform diving and before the 400 freestyle relay. The men’s meet has not seen any delays yet due to the impending storm.

Did it ever get there?
The meet was a bit of a tornado too!
