<div class="quote_poster">M Two One Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">That's it! That's ******* it! Sometimes I feel like I'm done with living here. A few nights ago I'm nearly killed by lightning. Two nights ago we have a blackout all night. Yesterday we lost power around 3:30pm and the tornado sirens were blaring from numerous micro-bursts in the area, some of which were just over my goddamn house! Then when you think it is all over and ComEd can come out and repair the damaged, oh no .. No no no.
Our stove doesn't work, so we decide to go out to Quizno's. Driving down towards Joliet (the place where Prison Break is filmed for those of you that have no idea where that is) and I see wall clouds just popping up within seconds of each other and then the sirens go off again, people are in the street leaving their vehicles behind we turn around through a Walgreens and speed back home to get to our neighbor who has a basement. Half way home you can see tornadoes touching down in the distance far, far away, several of them, scared out of my damn mind!
Does it stop there? No, it doesn't. The sky turns neon green and then turqoise over our heads as we flood into our neighbor's basement as the sirens go blaring in our town. Thankfully our neighbor has a generator so that we had some light in his basement, but then what? Oh no, all that rain is flooding the poor guy's basement, so while the storm is raging outside he's upstairs with me using a pump to get the goddamn water out and away from his basement windows and air conditioner.
The storm lasted until 6am this morning and though we went home and had minor damaged this poor guy had to stay up all night and watch over his house in case of flooding or pump damages. The Chicagoland suburbs are under state of emergency with more then 300,000 people without power still and the Northside suburb towns are almost completely under water like over in Ohio and Oklahoma. Poor people.
This weather is ****** and I seriously can't take this anymore. I have a job interview at 4pm over at Sports Authority and guess what? Violent storms later tonight, so isn't that just pleasent? Hail the size of golf balls predicted and the reason I'm online is because I'm at the library to get out of my humid house and Email my fianc?e who was likely worried sick about me. I'm not the one to complain usually, so don't get me wrong here, but come on now. This is rediculous. Crap, I wanted to write the second day of Euroleague basketball with Kobimel and the sirens go off. Wonderful.
Anyway I'm out, have a blast.</div>
Ahh, it was horrible yesterday in the Chicago Suburbs too. We had to stay late at school because of the tornado warnings, trees falling everywhere, it's a mess. And school was canceled today because no electricity. I still don't have any electricity at home, every since yesterday noon. (At my cousins right now). Hopefully it doesn't take much longer, but I doubt it comes back soon.
