I know there will be a lot of disappointed athletes, but I think this was the right call. There's already been high water, and with the amount of expected rain in the next few days, the chance of flooding is very high, regardless of what path Joaquin takes.

Yeah, that course gets standing water on a clear day at high tide. 

And I think the local officials have bigger fish to fry than manning intersections.  Interesting, though, that the Waterman's races in Rock Hall are still on as of this morning.

Yeah, it looks like Watermans is going to make the decision closer to the day of. Makes sense, since it is more local racers than anything. I applaud the IMMD RD for making the decision early enough for (most) people to avoid traveling for nothing.
