We had a storm system move through about an hour and a half ago here. It was so bad I actually went to the basement for the first time. Power went off twice or so but came right back on.

No damage here at the house but at my building downtown I got a call from a tenant saying a pipe had burst. I went down and found a lot of water dripping in. I determined something was happening on the roof. I went up there and found the main roof drain clogged with misc debris. I waded out to it and started pulling junk off it and it began sucking like crazy. Its an 8" pipe feeding a ten inch roof drain and 8" of water can cause a serious head pressure.

Considering that I have quite a few skylights and such this was about the best thing it could have been.

It cooled off after the storm went through and now is sunny and pretty breezy.
