"Navy bean" is what we'd get if a good seiche washed the Anish Kapor sculpture out into the lake.

It was a mess at ORD last night. After the tornado warning another storm blew thru. We didn't make it to ALB until 3am! Nothing like a couple of hours sleep before going to work.

Wow! I cannot believe it what happening in ORD last night. I have been heard the Cubbies games has been delayed due to severe weather in ORD areas. I noticed that I saw the lightning were strike in downtown Chicago. I have been spoke from my friends on the phone last night. I knows some of those people were evacuated from the game due to severe thunderstorm in the Wrigley Field. The umpire has been stopped the games. The players were went back inside the clubhouse while the weather is gone away for several hour. Hopefully everything will be alright for awhile. I won't worry about my friends who lives in Chicago.

Wow! It's mostly impressive what happened the storm were hit in Chicago skyline. I saw the TV while we just came back from D-Backs game by few night ago. We already heard what happened in Chicago Cubs has been delayed due to severe thunderstorm.

He told me that happening that mean it was hit in the downtown Chicago. Luckily, they didn't get some extremely damaged the tornadoes didn't touchdown in downtown Chicago. Hopefully they will expect to clean it up the trees and near the house, too.
