CapitalKid Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 It just cycled, pretty much the worst timing it could manage. Couplet up around 100 kt again. I wish there were some tower cams. That's what I feared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paweatherguy1 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 It might be worse in this case if it encounters an area of poor housing as suggested a few posts above. Thanks, was not aware of the layout of Wichita. Not sure why my post was deleted though as it is going to move south of downtown. Thanks for correcting me though.

NJHurricane Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Service areas and backstages in large arenas are surrounded by concrete. Better than being completely exposed. Not to sidetrack disco, I am a stagehand in NJ....from info available seems IntrustBank arena like most modern venues has a large area glass enclosed concourse..capacity 15,000...so yeah keeping people away from that would be the priority. EDIT: According to website, the roof height is 65 feet, a lower profile than most arenas of this capacity (for acoustics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
