Stormy Weather
There's been a lot of heavy weather this week in northeast Indiana, taking out power and Internet for a lot of us. The rain is more or less welcome, though we're getting pretty floody in places, but the wind and lightning are a pain. If I disappear for a while again, you'll know why.
We had a wall cloud come over Des Moines last week that made our offices go dark - we didn't lose our lights, mind you. It just went dark because the sun was extinguished. It's one of those Midwestern moments that makes you think you're in for it. But although it was a gullywasher and it was noisy, we were spared big hail and tornadoes. At least in town we were.
Yesterday, I discovered a tree branch (and not a small one) on my car after the storm that blew through here with downtown Chciago tornado warnings in its wake. I'm glad y'all are okay so far.

Bad weather your way then comes out way...stay safe...
Caron, isn't it amazing how dark it can get in the middle of the day when the clouds roll in? This photo was taken in the middle of the afternoon.
Michelle, hope our storms dissipated before they reached you!
