Hurricane Ike and Rain in Chicago

The weather made a big impact this weekend.
Hurricane Ike came ashore at Galveston in the wee hours of Saturday morning. Thankfully, our family members are okay. As of Sunday evening, my parents has power. The lights are still out at Uncle Bill's in Friendswood, Rhonda's in League City, and at Grandmommy's in Deer Park.
The weather in Chicago seemed to be sympathetic with the Houston area because it rained ALL weekend. We started hearing our sump pump run on Friday night and heard it going off and on all weekend, but thankfully we have a dry crawl space. As we were out and about over the weekend, we saw lots of places with flooding and came across streets closed due to water on the pavement.
