Ike's not the only major storm going on. Chicago's pretty much underwater right now.

There's a whole string of storms coming from the southwest, which means that we've got constant rain from now until Ike gets here. They're also projecting Ike to still be a tropical depression when it does get here, which means it'll keep raining through Monday.

My room is already underwater and I can already hear Dayna laughing.

On an unrelated side note, did I accidentally call you last night, Linn-and-Ian? When I got home, I saw that my phone had dialed you and was connected for almost six minutes. I don't know how that happened, and it wasn't me what done it. I'm sorry if there was confusion.

Oh shit that's right. Your room is in the basement.

Yeah, our streets were rivers over here. I had to go barefoot to get my car out. My dad has 2 pumps in a crawlspace though. It pumps to outside, but man was it a lot of water.

Dude, if I were you, I'd only keep the bare essentials in the room and store all the important stuff up way high somewhere else!

Oh... and around here we call that "butt dialing".

HOW MANY TIMES MUST THIS HAPPEN.

Dude, I think it's time to man up and block whatever opening is causing these floods.

I suggest concrete.

Yes, let's pour concrete in the sky.

Honestly, it was mostly because the sump pump couldn't keep up. We got six inches of rain in a really short amount of time.

Actually, you DID call us. Very late, too. ^_^; Ian picked up and said he had someone saying "Hello" back to him but never got coherent conversation and could hear you talking in the background somewhere. "I think I heard Kevin's voice," he told me in confusion afterward. He was going to google the number to confirm but he must have forgotten.

Yup, that was my ass. Really needed to call you after ten your time.
