You guys are right, it is hell out there. but now (about 3am) it's died down abit. The sky is constantly light up with lighting bolts that last 3-5 seconds, making it seem like day. Thunder that just continues from so much lighting, theres a constant rumble that hasen't stopped since about 10pm. The best damn light show I've seen in about..... well...since last years' storms moved in, but it still looks damn cool out there right now.
Oh yea, the 2nd front is moving in if you 2 live anywhere near the chicago area, and hopefully it's just as fun as the first. I'm about 1 1/2 hours south of Chicago, and live right on the Kankakee River. They keep telling us we got to worry about flooding, but it ain't gonna flood. I could spit from my back door to the water level right now and it still ain't goona flood.
