Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 3487481, member: 27"] Morning update: It is supposed to be a rotten day in Syracuse, with a high probability of thunderstorms most of the day. Winds are also high...in the 10-12 mph range. There were some workers out on the roof but it appears it started to pour a few minutes ago and they left to take cover inside. All but one of the cranes have been knuckled down. I am not optimistic much will get done today. They have a lot of the materials needed to put up layer two on the north side of the building up top and in place, ready to go. But it appears you can't let the insulation get wet, and I am guessing that will preclude them from putting any up today. Early this morning, workers were tweaking the netting that was presumably put up under some of the arcs to protect them when they attempt to install the PTFE fabric. Maybe it might be possible to install some PTFE. Don't think it matters if that gets wet. But trying to balance and do work on those arcs when they are slippery wet, exposed to strong, gusty winds, sounds like a really bad idea. I have screen captures showing the netting and the north side of the building, with layer two materials stacked up near the ring. The worst of the storm is happening right now. There is a special statement warning about the storm, which I have pasted below, Maybe when the bad part blows over (around 8:45 am), work can start again.
