Um. Apparently, there was a tornado warning for, um. The area I was driving in to pick up nique from work. One of the DJs was saying, "and right now it should be at the Summerfest grounds" and, dude, I was... less than a mile from there.

Go me?

Anyway. Then on the way back, a monsoon appeared and we pulled over, since, dude. If I cannot see, for the ocean of water dropping on my car, I do not attempt to drive. And then driving back there were lakes and rivers.

I have never been so glad that Moya was a manual, EVER.

Apparently, in Waukesha, the water was falling so fast, the drains couldn't cope and manhole covers were popping up into the air.

It has practically stopped now....

Not excellent. :( You get it today, I get it tomorrow. This is the midwest for cripes sake, we dont HAVE a rainy season! *prayer to the weather god* Please to stop with the monsoon.

damn. At least it won't be more tornadoes?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Why can't, like, FL and Georgia get it? They need it!

I was in the basement at work for an HOUR today. o_O And there is still tornado warnings out for the counties to the west of me. I hope it dies out before I go to bed...I would like to sleep tonight. Batten down the hatches m'dear, it's going to be a wet one! :P

*lol* I wish that were true.... I live in the same metro region as Lyssie's parents and it rained so hard here yesterday that once again, this problem intersection at MO Hwy 141 & I-44 flooded. (No surprise there, because oh yeah, 141 goes down into a gully that is essentially lower in elevation than the river just 1/4 mile north of the intersection... :-p)

We had like 3 tornado sightings in the region - one further west/southwest of me in Sullivan was what tripped the tornado sirens when I was up in Pacific.

I waited out the storm at parentals' office & then, headed home.

Send the rain here please (not the tornadoes though... that's scary being so close to it). When we do get rain here it sprinkles for like 2 minutes. I am very tired of this dry 95 degree shit.

I... should possibly phone my parents. Except for the late hour...

Aww. Roomie was in the back room at the library for half an hour, and they kept the building open later for people who were stuck there...

It is! I just hope it doesn't get all humid! I don't want to mold away.

What is with all the tornadoes this week and people on my friendslist?! *flail*

Go Moya!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I know not, but I was already over them when they were down by you!

[mrsdrjackson.livejournal.com]

That was nice of them, the university library I worked at *never* kept the building open late.

Humid is the worst! It was so bad yesterday the floors of my department turned into slip 'n' slides.

Well, unless they lived in Sullivan, Cahokia or around Sunset Hills, they were safe from the spotted twisters.

It just was a monsoon for about an hour and then, finally let up. I drove home to clearing skies back out to the boonies where I live.

I made this icon a very long time ago, because IT IS FOREVER TRUE. Kara has no STDs, only too many lovers.

Also, there was this obnoxious guy with a truly ugly manwhorebuck icon.
