    We had some bad storms in central Illinois earlier today. Hoping all is well with @pitdogg2 as his town seemed to get the worst of it.

    It was so dark at noon:30 that my dusk-dawn floods came on and cast shadows on the deck like nighttime. Neighbor behind me recorded 1.5 inches of rain, all in about an hour, or less.

    Hot/Humid. Heat Advisories for the next 7 days at least from what I saw on the forecast this AM.
    See profile for rigs. Nothing else here.

    Hot as he8L. 95* and no rain for days.

    I'm going to have to put the sprinklers up again. ;)

    A huge storm just appeared BUT, I don't know if I get a drop...

    CARNAGE here! No power, most streets impassable, the streets that are are packed with idiots trying to race past others. My 15 min drive to and from work took an hour to get home. I had to go 4 miles out of town to a country road to get onto the interstate to go around the city to come in the back way to my house. I had 2.5" of rain in about 45 minutes. Presently without power. Power company says it might be on by morning, might.bt3lpx4lova0.jpg

    That sucks, Ivan! I hope the basement is OK. I could probably make a generator happen yet tonight if you need it. Now, figuring out the route you took to get to your house might be an issue ...

    Thanks my friend, I'll be okay. You would have no problem coming from your house to the Veterans business loop on the far south side. 22,000 without power. Power restoration is ATM undetermined according to Ameren.
    Basement is fine. Going down every 2hrs pulling water out pouring down the drain my pops put in right next to the pit. PITA but beats the alternative for sure. The water is not coming in fast, thank god for the dry spell we had.

    Man, you have a long night ahead, it sounds like, but glad it's manageable. Yes, that would be my normal route. My sump pump has calmed down quite a bit the past couple hours, so hopefully that's a good sign for you. Hope you don't lose anything in the freezer, either!

    If the Brisket, shoulder and ribs thaw, well I'll be smoking Saturday while putting new struts, inner and outer tie rods on. I'll let you know I'll need mouths to feed. Although I've not opened either refrigerator so fingers crossed 🤞🏼
