2	Mr X Sun 5/17/2009 8:56p	What do you mean, you hope heads rolled? There was a downpour, and some floats got stuck on the street. There's nothing you can do in that situation but get it over with (obviously what they did).
3	bradhigcmdtsl Sun 5/17/2009 9:30p	Heads rolled? Because they sent floats out in a tropical storm. Could have damaged costumes ,caused short circuits ,etc. They knew Fay was coming and still started the parade.
4	Mr X Sun 5/17/2009 10:18p	Happens all the time. If they think they can make it, they send it out. No biggie. Trust me.
5	disney pete Mon 5/18/2009 4:04a	don't understand that ive seen the parade cancelled when the was just a little downpour never mind torrential rain like that.
6	Mr X Mon 5/18/2009 4:13a	They do their best to send the parade out if possible. Sometimes the weather sneaks up on them (if it was pouring at starting time, of course it'd have been cancelled). They do their best.
7	Mickeymouseclub Mon 5/18/2009 7:22a	Maybe the costumes and floats needed to be cleaned!
8	dizneed Mon 5/18/2009 7:29a	I thought that was hilarious! It was the Disneyapolis Speedway on Main Street! Look at the Cast Members in the background around a minute into the clip....funny. Thanks for sharing.
9	bradhigcmdtsl Mon 5/18/2009 11:21a	Just how do the float drivers see out of those things? Are there video cameras on the floats and the drivers look at a monitor?
10	Disneydanny Mon 5/18/2009 12:14p	the parade had started prior to the storm, some floats ended up being held back because of it
