Some amazingly strong thunderstorms are moving through my area. The wind outside my workplace went from zero to probably hurricane force in a matter of seconds. We watched the sheet of rain as it approached. The lightning and thunder are impressive. I'm glad I'm inside.
OTOH, it's getting near quitting time, and I have an errand to run on my way home. Not good.
Addendum: one of our air vents just started dripping. The rain is apparently blowing into the ventilation system. We're on the first floor of a five-story building. I wonder what the upper floors are like.

Great. I left all my windows open, so I probably get to come home Friday to a very wet apartment at the very least.
In Ohio here we had "do we see rotation in that cloud" night tonight. Along with the high wind & hail warnings. Despite the siren, apparently none of the clouds quite reached critical-rotation (despite the helpful little twister icons the helpful little local TV station uses).
It has basically been a very bad week; I'm here for the funeral of my favorite cousin (I don't think any of the other cousins would disagree, either) & "get" to pay condolences as well to the family of our neighbor of 41 years, who also died last Thursday night/Friday morning.
