In the event of a weather emergency, do not go near the windows.

My coworkers were clustered next to my cube near the windows yesterday afternoon as the wall of black clouds rolled over us. Day turned to night as the storm swept over the city. Like a knob, I’d left my sunroof slightly cracked out of habit. The days have been so hot it was all I could do to keep the inside of my car from baking me in my own juices.

Lucky me, when the skies opened up and the sheets of rain fell sideways yesterday afternoon, I was left with a puddle in my passenger seat. I managed to sop up the worst of it with a company shirt I’d tossed in the back seat. Anyone else get caught out in the rain?

    I, too, left my windows cracked and watched as our version of a monsoon swept over us. I didn’t realize until a few minutes into it that they were open. I had to run out into the frey and close them. I even got an umbrella…not that it did much good. I was soaked head to toe when I returned. There was a huge puddle that had built up in the nook that holds my speedometer and all that stuff. Now my car stinks…
