wow effect
last night, after braving the element to get a sushi dinner and a couple of hop-leaf beers, we came back home to the best show in town -- lightning storm. awesome flashes extended over the entire sky, sending fingers and webs all over, or straight arrows hitting the ground somewhere south of O'hare. it reminded me of those meteor shower nights, where we used to sit and stare at a general point in the sky, cause you don't know where the next one is going to come from. and of course, the unavoidable "WOOOOOW" whenever a big one lit the sky.
here's how the weather map looked like last night...
[hmm.... this was supposed to be an animation. oh well. i can't seem to make it work... maybe if you view it from your computer??]

I know! We had the same storm - including a tornado warning (running to the basement again, yay for me). It kept going all night with crazy lightnings.
that's crazy. i'm glad i didn't have to sit that one out in the basement... after reading your last tornado post, i asked ben if there's a chance we get a severe weather alert like that and what should we do in that case. he claims tat it's unlikely that a tornado will knock down our steal and concrete apartment building, and we should just stay away from windows...
and i say, if we stay away from windows, how will we see the tornado?!? on cnn??? that's not fun!
:)
