UPDATE: April 29, 3:52 a.m.

Heavy rain has begun to pour on the encampment, moving most protesters inside of their tents.

Despite thunder and lightning in the distance, the protesters are staying put in the South end of the Main Quad. The storms are currently expected to persist through 9 a.m.

Protesters were equipped with water-proof structures and ponchos, which they distributed to one another as the rain began to fall harder.
