Things you don't want to hear while cleaning cherries

...tornado sirens.

It looks like it's all south and/or west of us, but some of it might be north of us and slide over as this continues.

eta: Also, if you're trying to go anywhere in Wisconsin, DO NOT BOTHER. There's flooding all over the place on major highways. And sinkholes opening in downtown Milwaukee (what is this, the apocalypse?).

eta2: srsly, people, SINKHOLES ARE EATING SUVS http://twitpic.com/27poaj (five blocks from my apartment)

Oh god, really? Hope nothing terrible happens.

(Do I even want to know where the flooding is bad and where the sinkholes are? [...I should possibly call my parents.])

Miller Parkway at the stadium is flooded; parts of 43, 41 and 45, and 43 at Good Hope is stopped dead both ways.

There's a major sinkhole at Oakland and North that's apparently swallowed a car already.

There are power outages, too.

Christ. Yeah, apocalypse what?

Ho. Ly. Shit.

...I arrive at 7 pm on Sunday. Assuming Milwaukee hasn't had a hellmouth open or something.

OH THANK GOD. I was hoping you'd made it out before the Four Horsemen stopped for a smoke.

5 blocks??? *meep* Quick. Come stay with me. There's no flooding in Ohio. At least, not right now.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I don't think we can get to Ohio, sadly. Stupid flooding. *snuggles*

[sabaceanbabe.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. You'd probably need a boat for that. *sigh* *cuddles*

got a canoe?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

We are good. We're lucky, most of the major stuff is either south or north of us.

Stay safe.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I plan to. I'm more worried about people who live to the south. :/

That picture OMG :o

I KNOW. When they were talking about it, on the news, I was like, "I remember the last sinkhole they reported on, and they said it had eaten a utility truck when, really, the back end was six inches lower." AND THEN I SAW THE PICTURE.

And, yah. SINKHOLE WHAT ATE MILWAUKEE.

[alryssa.livejournal.com]

I HEARD THERE WAS ANOTHER ONE, HOLY SHIT LYSS WHAT IS GOING ON UP THERE

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Too much rain! Yeah, there's one that ate out the bottom of two houses, iirc. :/

*flails*

That is some scary shit right there, man.

[endis-ni.livejournal.com]

Oh my gods!

Please be careful, I'll be thinking of you!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I plan to be.

Yeah, St. Louis got slammed hard on Wednesday - it was crazy. We're talking downtown shut down for hours because Hwy 40 flooded, I-70 flooded and over on the east side, I-64, I-55 - all under water for like 3+ hours.

I was glad to be home and to live halfway up a hill. :)
