I have a rain jacket but nothing to cover my pants. looks like the metro area will get hit harder than up north. Its raining prety good right now but still no wind hail or tornadoes.

Sounds like my ride home from work yesterday, high winds and lightning in heavy down pour, took shelter at an auto parts store waited 10 minutes or so for it to pass on by, completely soaked and wet once home

I have ridden home in a flood once. That was interesting. stay to the high roads.

just beware the sliding cars.

my front tire is on its last legs too

rain has stopped here, there may be one more cell that hits us but it looks like it will stay south so i think I will be ok, just have ot watch for standing water on the roads.
