We had our Big Bad Storm on Tuesday night here in Chicago (I lost my power for about four hours--well, my apartment went to half-power from 9:10 to about 11:00, and then out completely after that. I went to bed at that point, but the clock in the morning indicated that the power came back up around 1:00 am). Here in the NW suburbs, it's been chilly and spitting rain most of the day, but nothing big in terms of storming.
Mal: We're still flying. Simon: That's not much. Mal: It's enough.

The evil is this way?
Sheeesh, midwesterners, cut that out.
What can I say. We're jealous of the victims of Hurricane Katrina and we make our own fun.

Cindy, I'm in Ohio, so the storm would have already gone through Indiana. It looks like it went smack dab through the middle of the state.
Keep in mind that I'm about as much of a meterologist as Ryan Stiles.

From ita's link:
Neighbors in the apartment complex apparently did not find it unusual that junk mail was piling up outside his door, it added.
Four year's worth of junk mail? They must not get as much junk mail in Austria. Yikes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks Kathy and Ailleann. I just googled. It looks like they're just having typical rain, and some thunder.

Be nice to my mother, Narrator. Drive down to Flanagan now, and make sure she's okay. Okay?

Man, Cindy. I wouldn't wear that, but it did make my jaw fall open in bogglement.
The auction hasn't happened yet. Still plenty of time for someone to swoop in and buy me something. Providing you've already earned the moolah.
Or, because I'm reasonable, buy me this.
