Re: S20: DAY 31 EP 12 - IN REAL TIME!



"Medical evacuation tied to weather"

Per Probst

"Samoa is very beautiful - and it kicked the a.s.s. of two people to
the point where they had to be evacuated," Probst told Canwest News
Service in a long, wide-ranging conversation. "It was hot, and then it
rained. And it rained for about a week. They didn't have fire. And
they couldn't get water. It was hard. It was definitely hard."

No significant rain from June 11th to 19th, as measured at Faleolo
Airport somewhat to the northwest, but according to Weather
Underground stats it rained 9.8 inches or almost TEN inches on June
20th, Day TEN according to TDT.

Although that was the only huge rain, it continued to rain 1/2 and
inch to 3/4 inch a day through the 26th, which I guess is enough to
keep it wet and accords with Jeff's statement of a week exactly.

On the 27th it stopped and there was no significant precipitation
after that (less than 1/10 of an inch per day). Nor was there
significant rain prior to the big dump.

Trouble rains about Episode 4 - 5! With extra players, the loss can
be absorbed :) without amending the schedule.
