At the poly, steady rain. People are starting to leave and the water pageant floats are not in the lagoon.

The problem is if the there was lightning earlier in the day, the show may not have been loaded on schedule thus causing a cascading delay.

Oh my, I hope it clears up in time for them to be done, so the people arent disappointed. What is the forecast for tomorrow night? Marie

40-55% chance of rain from 8-9pm

Skyshow is reporting an indefinite hold due to weather, and serious fire at Buena Vista Place apartments just north of the launch site.. (cast housing)

PS... news story related to the fire.. it's important to note that this is within a quarter mile (or less) of the launch site... likely to delay or cancel the show..

Fireworks are now at a possible cancel due to the fire near the launch area. Orange County Fire Dept has requested that show control cancel the show for this evening due to the possibility of show fallout impacting the site of the fire they are currently fighting.

Stay tuned.

This is NOT a confirmation of cancellation.. Just letting you know that it has been requested by Orange County Fire

Latest is that the show may start at 9:55pm.. Fingers crossed.

Still on delay due to the fire.. Weather is not the main factor.

It's a light sprinkle with no lightning.
