It had started *pouring* down rain one afternoon (big surprise...LOL) halfway through the parade. When they started getting to about Casey's (coming from Liberty Square/Frontierland), the streets started flooding. We had to clear guests out of the streets as they scrambled to get indoors, and especially out of that little area at the "tip" of Town Square. We got them (the guests) out, took down our ropes and stanchions, and here comes the parade floats *haulin' the mail* down the street. The first float - the Mickey snowglobe - was going too fast, couldn't make the turn, and slid up right on up the curb at that "tip". Good thing we cleared it out.
