That last storm just blew my window in. Not breaking it - popped it right out of the frame, with sheets of rain pouring in! Fortunately, Phil, the handyman downstairs neighbor was in - what a sweetheart. Put a screw on it so that won't happen again. I owe him a cake!

*looks up at sky* Oh boy, another one!

Ran into [livejournal.com profile] divinetailor downtown earlier - turned on the Powers of Persuasion for G's gig at the Darkroom tomorrow night. Lee squee!

And y'all?

I take it you are in the northern midwest. The rain really has been pouring down on us hasn't it?

Yowza! I'm glad you got it fixed fast! Did it damage anything important?

Yike! I'm glad you weren't hurt! Friends of mine had their windows blown out (fortunately they weren't hurt.) The windows in my apartment started to buckle at around four PM, but everything held, though there are downed trees all over the place and we keep losing power.

Erm, I wonder if that loose screw actually saved you some broken glass? The pressure of that wind was UNBELIEVABLE. *still cowering*

Oh, wow ... okay, if it blew over the stereo, I'm guessing I know which window it was. Glad nothing was damaged, and the thing got fixed right smartly!

It's gone from Autumn Cool to Bloody Muggy here in the course of the past, say, 24 hours -- it feels like waiting for a storm that you know ain't coming.

Keep well, eh?

OMG. *Clings so VW will not blow away* It was terribly hot and muggy earlier, but enjoyably cool and rainy later. Some breeziness but nothing that could take out a window! O_o

Purple and Teal? yowza!

*wide eyed* Windows can do that? *eyes own windows nervously*

Glad it didn't do any worse damage than that.

It was absolute madness! I work on the 15th floor, and we were all staring out the windows in terror.

I'm glad your window debacle didn't destroy anything!

Wow! Thank gooness you weren't hurt, and that your nice handyman neighbor was able to get the window reinstalled quickly.

My folks told me a tornado hit Chicago's north side the other night. We had a rotating wall cloud with 70 mph wind gusts blow over central Omaha on Monday night (fortunately for us it didn't spawn a twister, but it still did a lot of damage). What the hell is going on with the weather right now? You'd think it was June, not almost September!
