There's nothing like a spring thunder storm in the midwest. The sky turned black and green this afternoon at work. A coworker and I went to the back door to take a gander at the oncoming storm. The air was charged with electricity, and lighting was crisscrossing the sky. This is when we realized we were propped up against the metal fire door, and figured we should probably stand away from it. The rain came so hard it blew sheets of water under the door into the building. My coworker opened the door and was drenched in rain. We ran around to the front entrance, which is a room of glass, and watched the hail fall. Some one mentioned that there was a funnel cloud spotted to the west of us, and the proceeded to explain how a glass room is probably not the best place to be when there's a tornado abound. Why do people always have to ruin the fun. get away from the metal door, don't stand by the huge plate glass windows, don't put that paper clip in the outlet...sheesh.
