Monsoons in Upper Mid-West & Chicago

“Sounds like the rains in the upper mid-west are NOT stopping. You might need a PFD to portage TRAILS! 5-8 inches of rain here in Chicago. More to come through Saturday night.”

“I am glad I left there Tuesday....”

“I heard O'Hare arpt. was partially flooded this morning and was shut down.”

“Hmmm, hope some of that makes it down around Indy. I'm canoeing Sugar Creek this weekend and it's been really dry this summer. Less dragging canoe for me 8-)”

“Been monsoon season in Iowa since July. Golly gee, used to be dry in these here parts in August!!”

“Didn't hear that about O'hare, but the Eden's Expressway was flooded. 5-8 inches of rain overnight in that part of the city! Supposedly was better by early afternoon.”

“Thats why I am going to be backpacking in Michigan this weekend!

8D”

“Don't count on it not coming our way CM. Michigan has a way of dealing weather that's either perfect or disasterous. It's been pretty close to perfect all week. Bout time for some rain hail and tornados.”

“COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

8D”

“Oh, great, just what we need, Crazy Mike getting a few hail stone bounced off his head or a tornado whistling through his head! What will we call him then? CRAZIER Mike! lol!”

“It might do me some good!

Hehehehehe!!!!!

8D”

“It's monsooning here right now. Just opens the HELLUP and pours!

Plus a warning for DENSE FOG tonight! (how did they know I'd be drinking after work??!?)”

“no rain on Saturday, so I gather up the girl friend and head out on the Wisconsin river for a little r&r....just about got run over by a hundred Hover-craft ....loud but interesting”
