Heavy Weather

When we were leaving Tyche's after work, a storm whipped through. Lightning, thunder, high swirling winds -had to lock the front door to keep it from being pulled open-, heavy driving rains. limbs were torn from tree, signs were knocked over. We waited for the worst part to abate, but even then, there was standing water on the roads. Quite exciting. There were some superbly beautiful cloud-scapes as the front moved on and over us.

I'm in my office in Memorial right now, and it's still pouring. It's leaking from the ceiling in one of the computer rooms, but there's really nothing I can do except move things out of the way of the leak.

The water was rushing down the stairs on the north side of Memorial in a torrent, like a whitewater creek, and one the south foyer/lobby has a cm or so of dirty water that leaked in under a door.
