A Wet Time In The Old Town Last Night

Fortunately we didn't get any significant wind, just a metric shitload of rain. If your wondering what a "metric shitload" is, Villa Park, my suburb, got 7.26 inches, all between 10 PM and 9 AM. That's what we usually get in two months.
At my house, no damage to report, except that Comcast cable and Internet is out. Due to a minor snafu at work (more communication failure then real problem, fortunately) I had to run to a branch, so I got the scenic tour of flooded viaducts and streets. After my tour, I decided to go into the office and pull some stuff from the Internet that I would need later.
Since this is the second time Comcast took a weather-related dump, while AT & T's product worked as advertised, I think I'll skip Comcast's "triple play" (phone, TV and Internet).
