Sunday, August 26

Today I am in Chicago. It has finally stopped raining here. The storms we had on Thursday were unlike anything I have ever seen - the sky turned as black as night but there was this creepy underlayer of yellowish sky...it was really spooky. As it happened I was working in the suburbs that day, and we all had to move to the interior of the building due to a tornado warning. It brought back fond memories of retreating to the basement of our house in Holland, Michigan with my mom and sister during a similar storm in the 70s - I remember feeling like we were on an adventure. The American Midwest in summer....a hotbed of potentially lethal meteorological phenomena....

Later today I am flying to Long Island, and then on to Atlanta. I have a feeling the next several months are going to be really busy...
