Great, just took a look out the window here at the clinic, it's starting to get dark, think I'll leave in about 10 minutes or so.
And just got this email from the hubby at home:
Just rained like the devil here. Bad Bad thunderstorms. Sounds like another one coming too.
It was alot of rain too. I mean alot.

We just had 60mph winds and it is just pouring! The lightning was right down the street! I havent seen it rain this hard in a while, the NWS needs to put a warning up.

Well, you just got your warning. Looks like it's a good decision, too, appears to be a very nasty storm.
