If anything, I would have expected them coming on the air this morning instead of in the afternoon, but oh well.
I see back at home in Chicago, there's significant flooding after 7 inches of rain fell due to a stalled out cold front and training storms. It has now become a secondary story on TWC next to Ike; in a way, it's pretty cool seeing my hometown on TWC with all of the red STORM ALERT graphics; indeed, the situation almost merits it. >_<
Here in Bloomington, IL, we're slated to get possibly 6 inches of rain from Ike tomorrow. That's not going to be fun. >_<
