Cell moves in
By adamg on Thu, 06/24/2010 - 5:46pm
At Millennium Park, around 5 p.m. Just as the cell was getting going, a soccer team showed up, at what is the highest point around, and began practicing. I suggested to one of the adults that might not be the smartest thing - lightning was already starting. But only a downpour got them off, apparently they were more concerned about getting wet than becoming human lightning rods. And as soon as they left, some dog walkers showed up - and began walking their pets. Sheesh!

It gets worse-- I saw a blogger up there with a little metal box in his hand!
More plastic than metal, I think
But yeah, I seem to have this desire to watch awful weather from the top of Millennium Park.
My excuses:
I was doing it for science.
I didn't stray far from my car and took refuge in it.

There's a storm outside and the gap between clap and thunder,
clap and thunder is closing in, is closing in
On a high hill stands a blogger, camera held high ...

Who needs to go to the Heartland to chase storms?
In a few days, I'll be heading out to Tornado Alley to join what has become an annual storm chase vacation tour. Little did I imagine that we'd be seeing warnings for possible tornadoes and extreme weather here.

hmm, questioning the wisdom of playing in an open field in a rather high spot during a thunder and lightening storm...hmm...
