Stormy Day in Chicago by taffy

Stormy Day in Chicago

All day it rained, pretended to stop raining until umbrella was stowed, and then started again. I caught this image on my way home from work, walking across campus to put some of the interfering buildings behind me. It clouded up totally and started raining again shortly after I shot this.
Alternate album reflects a much smaller look at the day.

Whoa but spectacular! I fear more is in our future tomorrow ... !

I know...dress warm and bring a hat/raincoat/umbrella. There is the architecture tour open house throughout the city as an indoor alternative (getting wet between buildings, I guess). But only 30% chance, so I'm staying optimistic! Check out chicago open house on google for list of buildings in the loop and north michigan.
