We are powerless in Palatine. Thankfully my toothbrush is charged.

I haven't seen that much lightning in a long time.

I had to wake up really early for work this morning so of course that storm happens. Didn't fall asleep until 2am. I could hear the dog tossing and turning too.

A tornado in Wisconsin was on the ground for 83 miles.

They are saying it's an EF-3, that's rare for a long track tornado. Usually they have more damaging winds.

1.23" in about an hour in crystal lake. Some minor flooding.
Some minor adventures this afternoon working on a condo building rooftop in Palatine.

Thankfully not terribly near me, I was driving on some road out towards Plano or Sammich or wherever leash's rape cabin is, and saw what had to be a half-mile (at least ... literally couldn't see far enough to see one not down in the row) of downed electric poles all domino-like ... really very tidy looking actually ... I was bored and pulled over to talk to the ComEd guys and the one said it'd be "days" before those folks got power back. Ye gods, the very idea. I took a pic but it's not very good sadly ... rain + no reading glasses = bad photos.

We need the rain. My beautiful dark green lawn in May is now Brown.

I was driving back from Omaha area and was loving the radar. Wish it had given our place more than a quarter of an inch. It's dry as heck here.

It averages 8-10" here in Crystal Lake when I'm around.

Reworked my entire back yard Monday and Tuesday this week. Tore out grass, thinned out the overgrown beds and took back a lot of yard with new sod...probably doubled my usable grass area. Couldn't have asked for better weather for getting the new sod down...Cool and dry enough to work the soil and lay the sod, replanting the new beds with left over hostas and day lillies, then mulching. I got a couple hour soaking on the new grass last night...then it has poured intermittently today and tonight. The grass should take root quickly and be very happy in just a few days. Looks fantastic!

You've got to mulch. You've got to.

Rained so hard that some of the fresh mulch washed away.

Little league game at 7:45 tonight; rain isn't supposed to hit until 8:30, but then almost guaranteed to be a washout. Got about two innings in, then the skies open and everyone is sent to the dugout. Then we are waiting for some unknown reason while the third base line begins to resemble the Panama Canal before they call the thing off.
