BAD storms coming through today with up to 100 MPH winds for 80 mile radius around Chicago anyway.. thanks for heads up. Storms are currently knocking the hell out of parts of Iowa right now. Entire city of Ames out of power & it is supposed to get even stronger by the time it hits Chicago around 6:00 tonight Central time. Hits me in Indiana just afterwards. Hold on folks..

I'm 50 miles northwest of Chicago, and the western sky is darkening ominously.

The electricity went out for about half-a-minute, around 9 minutes ago. At the same time came a big blast of wind and a downpour. I had to wait for the modem to reset before getting back on the internet. The digital clocks will all have to be reset. Argh.

Probably Chicago in 10 minutes..

Just saw the first lightning flash, followed by the sound of thunder. 2020 just sucks.. I see you still have a barn swallow avatar. They built a nest above my front door in 2018 and returned in 2019. They kept the flies away. This year, robins beat them to it. So a few flies got in the house. Good old 2020.

Looking at Accuweather's radar Cleveland is a pretty straight line from Chicago. Those storms might make it there.

They eat a TON of mosquito's..

OK, they should get the game in. More thunderstorms are expected in Cleveland tomorrow at 10 am and 5 pm. They should be OK by scheduled game time, or perhaps a little later.
