gnat has angered the gods

i woke up to this text message from mom:

"worst storm in 70yrs in chicago"

yeah right, mom. a mere 12 hours ago i was posting an entry about how perfect the weather was, and weather.com didn't give any indication of any kind of storm (although it does now)... i looked out the window first, and i guess it's a little windy? then i consulted google.

"chicago faces possible worst storm in 70 years"

"powerful midwest storm knocks out power, flights in chicago"

"chicago storm may beat 1975 gale that doomed edmund fitzgerald"

my bad, chicago.
