Thanks for posting this. Also, you're doing an excellent job with crowdsourcing.

Thanks for your comments ... I have been experimenting with the system for the last few days and still have a lot to learn.

I must that I am a bit surprised by the response to my requests. I have only received one "No" and that was because the person did not own the copyright.

infomatique, thanks for getting this story out so quickly. It will now show up on the home page for four hours. If new developments justify it, I'll renew this flag for another cycle.

suggestion on how to improve this story.

Crowdsourcing images is great, it makes a bit of a nice photo albumn BUT the people that took the images were there....(I assume) so in your picture requests, try asking people to respond with some of their own tales/experiences. The person who's tent was sitting in 4" of water - how did they feel? Were they still having a great time??

Now that will be real crowd sourcing!
