StatFest 2019: Meant to Be

摘要

Tropical Storm Imelda dropped more than 30 inches of rain in southeast Texas September 17-19. Conference organizers strongly considered canceling StatFest 2019 due to widespread flooding and Federal Aviation Administration-mandated flight stoppages. But on September 20, the grey clouds began to roll away and the high water began to recede. Planning committee chair, Adrian Coles, said, "The water receded much faster than expected! It's almost as if StatFest 2019 was meant to be."
