Tornados/Floods - I"M SICK OF IT!!!

[jim]

I just spent an hour in a shelter at work, we had a laptop and were tracking up to four different tornados that tracked nearby. SE Minnesota and SW Wisconsin have had "1,000 year event floods", now Northern Illinois and the Fox Valley region is under flood warnings, Ohio looks like one giant lake.

Just a freaking mess.

Ohio looks like one giant lake.

My old office building has been closed all week. The entire town has about 2 feet of standing water in the streets. It's insane.

Whereas, down South, we have been fart dry. I don't think we've had rain in over a month....and we're more than a foot below normal for rainfall. Our yard looks like crap, I decided not to plant summer flowers.

Bad news. Here are some pics of SW Wisconsin. I just bought a house there less than a month ago, fortunately on high ground and have stayed dry. But the tornado that touched down 4 miles away Tuesday night was a little too close for comfort.

Yeah, the one that rocked Chicago is heading right at us. My wife just called and the civil def warning sirens in town are going off. The news said some areas in Chicago saw 100 mph winds. And I've got to drive right into this @#$ in a 1/2 hr.

There was a tornado in Chicago? I've spent the whole day in bed sick, but did wake up in the afternoon to what sounded like one heck of a storm. I just went back to sleep though.

We had rain gushing through the door jams at work this afternoon. I work about 6 blocks away from O'Hare and it was crazy. We are in the middle of storm wave #2 now.
