Rock County Fair going on right now, but it hasn't rained at all there yet. It all formed above me. It was like a hurricane. No rain now just intense lightning. But yeah, round 2 gonna make round 1 look like a yard sprinkler.

Wait, what? I'm old and I drink more and more.
Got warning on my phone. Been watching radar for the last 90 minutes. Ominous looking stuff coming our way. Then storm warnings go off. Every 15 minutes or so. Magically the stuff on the path heading our way stays north. The other part sort of dissipated. Was supposed to be over by 9:50. Looked at radar again. Looks like nothing coming our way - nearest is by Iowa City. Decide it's my chance to walk the dog. Head out. Lighting all around but everything is dry here. About 2 blocks from home I feel the first drop. Turn around and head back home. Still just barely sprinkling.

NE side near Target. Power went out just after 8, came back just before 12:30.
Fun part was we are in a gated community, and the gates run by, you guessed it, electricity. Couldn’t get hold of any of the HOA board members either, to see if there was a way to manually open them. Then we discovered the gate by our unit must be on the circuit across the street, that still had power, because that one still worked. Fun times.
