So it looks like RPL rescheduled canceled rpl Charleston games to Sept 16, 17th. Seems a little foolish with the Irma threatening next week.

Looks like it will be passed by the weekend, it just will be dependent upon the amount of damage that occurs. However, given the storm is there, still odd to reschedule with such a short turn around

By that weekend, Irma may not be the issue - Jose might. There are two storms right behind Irma on pretty much the same projected path. September and October may be pretty much shot for fall soccer with this highly active hurricane season.
But even so, with the amount of pre-Irma panic setting in already, getting to the lowcountry of SC may be a nightmare. I'm hearing from friends there's already a gas shortage and stores are practically empty. Mass evacuations ahead of the mandatory ones called for by Saturday and all those folks will eventually be headed back - or re-re-evacuating due to Jose.
I hate hurricanes - too many family members in the path right now! Puts a lot more perspective on how much energy to put into youth soccer and scheduling of games for me!

SRPL didn't send an email to our team manager about the reschedule. Another parent and I brought it up in conversation, and the team manager was like "what"?

They just had someone on CNN say that the storm surge in Charleston was worse than what they saw during Hugo.... Doubt, for your RPLers Charleston is going to happen.
looks like storm surge in Charleston has been changed to about 1 to 3 feet, not as bad I guess as the lady said.

Anyone hear anything yet? Our TM was in the dark, rpl and the travel agency never even sent or acknowledged hotel information for the weekend.

Unless there was rampant devastation like in Florida, honestly, by the weekend, Charleston may look like nothing ever happened. The fields we play on are not near the shore or in areas that would be affected by a storm surge. You probably have a better chance of playing in Charleston than you do in Henry County based on how the fields were built and drain. In the upstate of SC - the CESA fields were built to withstand a crap ton of rain and still be playable - you'd think other areas would follow suit.
Your big question would be if Florida teams will show up - are they ready to travel based on what they've just gone through. Boca was hit hard and there are tons of Boca teams in RPL - honestly if I lost my house over the weekend, the last thing on my mind would be getting my kid to Charleston for some stupid soccer game. IF you are an Atlanta team, travelling down there only to accept a forfeit would suck

S FL teams' games in Charleston, for our age group, are postponed. Both our games are on, including one against a N FL team.
