“This morning I heard the weather channel predict electricity would be out on Election Day in WISCONSIN from this storm and that Lake Michigan would be flooding.”
Educate yourself and look at where the bands of rain from Sandy are now.

I live in Milwaukee. The wind is about 20 miles per hour per The Weather Channel and that paltry wind is coming out of the NORTH WEST. The wind isn’t even moving my bird feeders much. The current temperature per The Weather Channel is 45 degrees. There has been NO rain. Nada, nothing all day long. My electricity has not even flickered once today. I have heard NO reports of electricity being out anywhere in WI today. You go look at your bands of weather on the boob tube. I’ll go with reality.
