Wow, crazy weather here. At work say about 1:10 I am happily listening to BBC News internet radio in my cubicle. Kurt in the office over is doin' the same. As are the guys around us in the other cubicles. Over my fairly noisy British news commentary I hear a rumble. Now I am thinking someone moved something heavy, full garbage can, multi-function printer (alas noone other then my co-workers will get that) or something along those lines. However there was promptly another rumble so I stand up and peer down over the other cubicles to Jim's window. Very dark and gray. Shortly thereafter we get a couple rumbles so everyone looks up. Now it's starting to rain. Rather quickly the rain does that part in Forrest Gump where it goes sideways. The trees (the one we can barely see at least) do their best to mimic the trees. Every tornado siren in the city goes off. Being good office workers we ignore them and stare out the windows. This goes on for 5 minutes before the office PA announces Operation Black. Now everyone scrambles to find our little emergency booklets to figure out "what the hell is Operation Black?!?" Not surprisingly this turns out to be the tornado procedure. As a result most of us head to the nearest windows or continue what we're doing (ah smart office folk we are). This has something to do with the fact you can almost see clear sky on the horizon. The storm is practically over.
Anyhow I head home shortly after this. It rains hard a couple times but mostly clear skies behind and to the south. Somehow when I get to Shopko it's pouring tho. So I got drenched going in and 100% soaked running out. Oy. Crazy weather.
