Thunderstorms In Austin Cause Lengthy Delays At X Games Events

Thunderstorms in Austin yesterday "scuttled most of the action at the X Games, which are in the midst of their final run" in the city. Workers were "frantically trying to dry the nine-story Big Air venue," but the late-night concerts "were set to go on as scheduled." There was some action earlier in the day, although "showers kept backing up events." Still, fans "plodded through the mud to see the world’s best at extreme sports" (AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN, 6/5). Around 9:30pm local time, the remaining events were "postponed" until today, including Big Air (TWITTER.com, 6/4).
