Wow.

When Gustav rolled through, it was 3-4 days after it made landfall and gave us about an inch of rain over 24 ours.

Ike rolled through yesterday and gave us 6+ inches of rain in three hours--five of those inches in one hour.

I was driving back from Indianapolis and got hit with the worst part of the storm just west of Danville. We stopped for gas and lunch--I was having problems seeing the road. It wasn't raining, it was pouring. It was like a waterfall from the sky. I can usually see fine in bad weather in the truck because I sit above most of the road spray and because I am a religious Rain-X user.

Chicago has been hit bad though. Two interstates closed and multiple school closing today.
