I think the cell that is between Springfield and Champaign will go south of Indianapolis. To the north( where I am ) it just looks like heavy rain (for right now). I'll keep a close eye on it. After this line makes it's way through the area I think we may have a window .... maybe.

8:26am - It's raining and I hear thunder in the distance. Nothing severe. I just pulled the rain gear out.

Jim in Illinois just pm'd me and is going to stay home today. Don't blame him. He will try to meet Deb and crew in Effingham on Monday.
Looks like the weather is going to blow through here and go south of us. :shocked: Let's still hold until late morning and see. Earliest to meet, if we do it, will be 1:00. Everybody getting this.:hun:

Sounds good. Hoping this blows through.

I have faith it is going to blow through and you will have your meet. I hope Jim can meet us in Effingham. Please keep us posted.

Now just rain and a little thunder. It sure did put down a lot of rain. I have standing water in the yard. How are things looking in the Indy area?

I'm going to drive (the jeep) to Peru to the gas station and get something to drink, tired of water & need a mt. dew. I'll check this thread when I return to see what the plan is. I'll check the roadways while I'm out, we had some wind so might be small limbs down.

If the sun comes out today we are going to be in trouble weather wise.

If for some reason this gets called off, maybe sometime before Monday we can get together. I know Sunday is Fathers Day and most people have something to do, but we could just do something quick. NO RAIN in forcast for Sunday. I am working, but can get out of there earliest at 3.

ok, I'm off for a Mt.Dew run. I'll check this when I get back.

I was just talking to John(retread) a few minutes ago. His computer is down and he has a leak in his roof so not a good day for him. He is waiting to hear back from me about the meet.
Deb, we were just talking about the weather and how it's supposed to be like this again tomorrow and we hoped everything is cleared up for your trip Monday.
Thunder, lightning and light rain right now. But it's going to pass.

John,
Good to hear from you. I just pm'd you. Weren't sure you had been following all this. Let's see what happens in next couple of hours. 8 legs can probably get here in a little over and hour. As I said. 1:00 or so will be the earliest.
Dick

 

[spyder1]

IF we make it, Squealers is excellent pick. We have one in Mooresville...one of my favorites!

I can make it in about an hour & 1/2 as I live northwest of Peru, I just have a Logansport address.

It has cleared up here a little. The tail end of the storm was packing some winds. We have a few small limbs down and standing water, blew the cover off my pool and moved my patio chairs, nothing serious. Light rain here and clearing up! Spyder is ready to go, rain gear on bags, rain gear for me is ready, just going to hold out a little while and let the standing water in the roads run off.

Sorry to hear about John's water troubles. Every time we get any serious rain I cringe. Had the water trouble in January and just finished remodeling the downstairs. I don't want to do that again.

Keep us updated. hyea:

 

[8LEGS]

Nothing to add, just wanted to get my 400th post out of the way.
:yes::yes::yes:

 

[8LEGS]

I don't want to see this stall as time is running out. The sun is out now and rain and storms are building to the west .... again .....

Here is my proposition. Retread is having water trouble and has already signed the banner, so Dick, myself and Spyder1 are left to meet today. Dick is in Carmel and Spyder1 is in Greenwood, since weather is not looking good today, how about we meet for a quick signing and lunch somewhere between our locations. I don't really want to get caught in a storm riding from Indy to home. I don't mind rain, but high winds and hail. . . . . . . . .

I'm looking at locations now, maybe South side of Kokomo,?,? I can be there in 45 minutes.

 

[Trickie Dick]

Well??

It's stopped raining here. If everyone is in I suggest we shoot for 1:30-2:00 at Squealers. 8 Legs, I'll meet you as planned, just tell me when. I'll call John and let him know. :2thumbs:

Don't know what to do. Looking better here(not great)but running out of time to meet today.

I was curious if this worked out. I was thinking about trying to make the trip til that storm hit us this morning. It was a doozie. I think Jima had it worse than we did. We have a few trees down, lots of realtor signs layin flat and about 2 inches of rain in less than an hour.

We had a lot of limbs down and standing water on the roads, nothing to serious. I did not make it south, I was worried severe storms would hinder my ride home. I am planning on meeting Deb, Brian, Dick, Greg & Daddy Darko Monday in Indianapolis, so I will just sign the banner then. If I wasn't planning to make it on Monday I would have made the trip south today.

Since the weather never did get bad here I went on a 200 mile ride. I met another Spyder rider who I insisted they join the forum.?.? I don't know if they will or not. We introduced ourselves then went for an hour cruise. It was fun. She just got her Spyder 3 weeks ago but is doing great. :2thumbs:

 

[superfly3]

cool,:2thumbs: its always good to meet new spyder ryders I hope she joins.

 

[8LEGS]

Yea, me too. She doesn't have a lot of free time. New baby, work full time, and college classes 2 days a week. She just came off of active duty with the Air Force.
