Weather delay

The Ravens' preseason game at the Washington Redskins has been delayed by a severe thunderstorm. According to the Redskins, they are hoping to get a weather update at 8 p.m. If the storm has cleared, both teams will get a 20-minute warm-up period before starting the game.

The rain came down heavy at 7:50 p.m. at FedEx Field and the winds have been gusty. Interestingly, the field has not been covered, which means there will be slick conditions if the game is played.

The lights at the stadium have flickered off several times. Fans have been asked to leave their seats and take cover.

Just cancel the game. No reason to risk injury tonight. It's a blessing in disguise.
