Lexington isn't listed, so I wonder if they'll go ahead with their fireworks show tonight.

Geez, good thing I closed my windows before going to work.

I have a soccer game in Lexington tonight...hopefully...

[library-sexy.livejournal.com]

It is only listed until 1pm today.

Not saying another storm might not develop but this one should not effect fireworks that are planned for 9pm or so.

[ron_newman]

Me too -- I almost didn't

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

Oy. I didn't bring an umbrella today because I saw only a 20% chance of rain predicted, and mostly sunny skies. Hopefully I'll still be able to run some errands in an hour or so and not get soaked/hailed on.

I really wish sometimes those guys would learn where their caps lock key is.

[jennyelfenmass.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's like a nice big ball of red headed our way.

[annalauwa.livejournal.com]

i hate it too. i always have a hard time reading it simply because it's ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME

[shirt-seeker.livejournal.com]

*lol* Absolutely. I do not need weather warnings being shouted at me :o)

[ron_newman]

Thunder is now being heard in the North End, and the storm looks imminent.

[shirt-seeker.livejournal.com]

fyi: I copied and pasted it from the national weather service, so don't blame me ;o)

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

Mine are all wide open. Bring on the fail macros...

[shirt-seeker.livejournal.com]

It's raining in Somerville and quite windy and I had some close lightening

[ron_newman]

I agree. Easily fixed with this command on any computer: tr A-Z a-z

Wee! Hail and heavy rain and sheets of wind in Waltham! our building is on aux power. The hail was about the size of golf balls, and the cars are dented. We were wondering if the windows were going to hold, the rain was coming through the closed windows last week.

[shirt-seeker.livejournal.com]

Actually we have hail now...

[curiositykt.livejournal.com]

yeah, it went through waltham in about 30 minutes.

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

Nah, this was something I've learned the hard way. I don't remember Boston ever being a monsoon city.

[plumtreeblossom.livejournal.com]

I love the way you phrase that, all detective novel-y. :-)

[thetathx1138.livejournal.com]

I work in Cambridge, I was just outside and saw nothing but dark grey in the distance. Do your errands NOW.

[shirt-seeker.livejournal.com]

Why don't you edit the post then?
