Wildfires in Texas, tornadoes in Chicago, blizzard in Iowa. Mother nature can be a crazy bitch, and it's not even March.

It stormed like hell in the Chicago area, and there were several reports of tornados in the suburbs and the rural area west of the city, but it looks like the damage was relatively minor. High winds and a little hail as well. It was pretty nasty when it went through by us around 7:00. Of course the weather shamans on WGN were trumpeting it like it was the apocalypse, and the wife was glued to that shit until I told her to turn it off.
