IAKG - from what I understand there were few problems - they had plenty of warning. Friends of ours had gotten tickets for this very game - the dad was taking the daughter to it and mom stayed home. I called her just as she was getting out of the shower - she had no idea that this was going on (doesn't watch TV that much) and of course her husband and daughter were listening to a CD in the car. She called them right away on the cell phone and they turned back. They were running late (good thing) and weren't quite to Ames yet.

The newschannel that we watch was predicting this type of weather event possibility the day before. The meteriologists had been to KY and IN the week before and studied the before/after weather events that happened there, and saw the same pattern here. That was why they had storm chaser teams in the area to monitor and they had the ability to forewarn the residents in plenty of time - even before sirens.
