In the last 5 minutes, the entire sky has turned black. I'm on the 5th floor of the hospital in the room with the big bay windows, so that I can check out a MRI on a patient, and it's freaking me out. An "attention hospital staff: code grey" overhead announcement just went out... severe weather warning (black is the imminent danger/thornado, so I guess it's a bit better) until 11 pm tonight. But this storm system is supposed to last until Wednesday. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to last until Wednesday!

There were at least 5 other people today with tales of woe and floods, including one of my attendings, whose fancy car was buried in 3 feet of water, as he lives at the bottom of the gully. From what it sounds like, Milwaukee has a problem with the drains on the municiple sewer and when the flash storms come, the water is unable to drain and backs up into everybody's basement.
