The rain is gone, there's flash flooding warnings everywhere, the park across the street is flooded, and now, overnight, the wind has come to town.
You know, the really severely gusty winds that make the water in your toilet boil pulsate. There was a wind gust at the Gary airport that was reported at 69mph. Here, it's like 45mph at O'Hare and 54mph at Midway. I'm watching somebody's Malibu outdoor lighting blow around the neighborhood (did I mention I was home today?)
I went out briefly (long story - had to get a InfoGlobe Caller ID Display so we can see the Caller ID info in the dark) and I've never felt the car shake and roll like that. It's supposed to diminish during the day.
Time for another Friday Five...
What was...
1. ...your first grade teacher's name? Oh, oh.... I don't remember... a Nun... Sister Mary.... Vincent?
2. ...your favorite Saturday morning cartoon? Wow, when I was slightly older, I really got Bugs Bunny. I remember always watching them.
3. ...the name of your very first best friend? That must be Paul from down the block
4. ...your favorite breakfast cereal? Toss up - Captain Crunch or Lucky Charms
5. ...your favorite thing to do after school? Play baseball at Steinmetz, or just running bases on the front sidewalk or in the alley
