Great Lakes Cyclone Fail

By Chuck Sudo in News on Oct 26, 2010 4:20PM

Looking outside my window in the wunnerful Bridgeport area, methinks the meterologists and headline writers doth protest too much. The way they were forecasting the weather it was like a Ronnie James Dio song was made real. Dragons were half-expected.

Instead, the wind is brisk, but this is the Midwest. And the sun is out in this part of Chicago. Sure, there are reports of tornado warnings, over 60,000 ComEd customers without power and 125 canceled flights canceled at O'Hare. BUt this is far from the "Great Lakes Cyclone" that was promised.

Where's my dragon?
