Looking @ current radar, I would not want to be out on Lake Michigan right now!

There’s still lots of storm action in SE WI, NE IL, and moving into NW IN. Ryan Hall reports 2 or 3 new tornado warnings every time I come in the house for a few minutes. :-(

(I discovered that brief punch of powerful easterly wind in our storms a couple days ago damaged a few shingles, so I’m up and down the ladder patching that, now. I waited for the sun to drop low enough I wouldn’t cook in 10 minutes!)

Well, the temporary roof repair was good enough to keep water out during last night’s almost inch of rain in about 30 minutes. I’ll “improve” it a bit more tomorrow morning, with things dried out decently, I hope. I’d better not dally - rain is expected by afternoon.

Today was wifey’s birthday so we went out to eat a late b’day lunch, then she had church stuff going late afternoon and early evening while I ran errands in town. That latter was just as well - we DIDN’T get our forecast humidity break today, so working on the roof would have been a bit miserable. It’s tough enough, being a steep roof - which seems to have become steeper now that I’m a septuagenarian...
