stormy weather

posted in Uncategorized |

In the last 5 minutes, the entire sky has turned black. I’m on the 5th floor of the hospital in the room with the big bay windows, so that I can check out a MRI on a patient, and it’s freaking me out. An “attention hospital staff: code grey” overhead announcement just went out… severe weather warning (black is the imminent danger/thornado, so I guess it’s a bit better) until 11 pm tonight. But this storm system is supposed to last until Wednesday. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to last until Wednesday!

There were at least 5 other people today with tales of woe and floods, including one of my attendings, whose fancy car was buried in 3 feet of water, as he lives at the bottom of the gully. From what it sounds like, Milwaukee has a problem with the drains on the municiple sewer and when the flash storms come, the water is unable to drain and backs up into everybody’s basement.

    This is the worst flooding we’ve had since ’97. Work for me tonight was just awful, lots of flights not coming into the airport and a couple of stuck vans. It was very ridiculous, and I still have to go downstairs to check the dehumidifier :(.

    Sheesh! I hope all will go ok over there.

    Was just talking to my mom too who is in Terre Haute, IN right now taking care of my grandparents and they just had a whole bunch of flooding too. Their basement got a little wet but there were whole roads closed and some people they knew that had to be rafted out of their house and they gave them some clothes and things. But goodness! Hopefully it will be over soon!

    • 2025 – Quilts! 01/07/2026
      For Christmas, my sister and I made National Park quilts for my parents, sister and brother-in-law, and niblings. 6 of them were small lap quilts, with a simple print, batting, and a backing that we sewed. The last was a queen size quilt for my sister’s camping trailer – it was a challenge putting it […]
