Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I did not get swept away. I didn't even go downstairs, because the monsoon portion of today's thunderstrom has subsided. Now it needs to stop raining so I can go shoe shopping after work without getting soaked.
When I lived in Michigan, I could always predict the weather by what the Chicagoistas were reporting.
Coworkers are coming up from street level and telling us that the streets are flooding.
Huh. It barely rained here and I'm not that far from the Loop.
Speaking of weather, today is such a perfect, mild, sunny San Francisco day that I would have been absolutely unsurprised if everyone at the Ferry Building Farmer's Market had burst into a spontaneous polka of joy.
Not to rub it in, just observing.
Aimee, just remember - when giving references, no slashing (possibly the only time it's inappropriate).

You know, I did not move here for the weather, but realized when I walked outside today what a lovely fringe benefit it was.
I actually really like thunderstorms. So, it's a good day for me even though I didn't get a lot of rain.
eta: megan, how is it going in SF? Settling in okay?

Does Chicago have microclimates? Because we were getting pounded there for a little while.

I dunno. It rained here (and still is a bit), but it was light, warm, summery rain and not monsoon-levels.
eta: I'm about 7-ish miles due west of the Loop. Not far, but far enough, I guess.
The northwest corner of my city got pounded this afternoon with a stationary thunderstorm. Nearly 2 inches in just over an hour. Which means my flower buckets might be a bit bedraggled.
It barely sprinkled 4 miles away. But I could hear the thunder!
The Tribune mentioned one specific neighborhood the severe thunderstorm was in. (I forget what it was. Logan Square?)
