Storm of the Century
So all day, everyone was hyping this big storm that was supposed to hit Chicago tonight. It was the top story on the local news, I heard it on the radio while I was driving to the gym, and it was all over the internet. Heavy rain! Dangerous winds! Flash flood warning! People left work early because of it; my core instructor was late to class because of it. (She actually was not late, but she thought she was late and apologized for it like a billion times, and also told a semi-racist story about how her cab driver didn't "get" why she was in a hurry.) It was the talk of the town!
Unless I missed it while I was at the gym, nothing came of it. The sidewalks do seem a bit damp, but there are no tree limbs down. We have miraculously retained our power. I have not actually even seen or heard any rain. Is it maybe still coming? I would consult weather.com, but they have a bad habit of telling me there's a 0% chance of rain when it is actually currently raining out.
Anyway, that's Chicago weather. Lots of talk and no action. Not that I'm complaining, in this case.
