According to the Tribune, "Sustained winds of 25 to 35 mph are forecast for much of the day, with wind gusts up to 50 mph this morning and 70 mph this afternoon."
There are high wind warnings issues and tornado watches, but it looks pretty tame here so far. The hype about the storm is much worse than the storm itself. At least it got the newscasters away from talking about the elections.
"The massive storm, packing lightning and heavy downpours, is the result of a low-pressure system that the western Great Lakes and upper Midwest region has not experienced in decades," the paper said. "'The storm system will be one of the most powerful we have seen in this part of the country in more than 70 years,' said Jim Allsopp, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service. 'This is a big deal.'"
Really? Guess we'll wait and see how this turns out.
