Game called due to... torrential downpour

The Rochester Red Wings game that Meredith and I were going to tonight wound up being right in the middle of a big storm front that is still producing heavy rain and major lightning. We went to the game for a bit hoping that the rain would let up and they would play ball, but when it became evident that nothing was changing, we headed over to the Old Toad for some beers and dinner. I just got back from dropping her off at her hotel, and I have to say that the lightning that is flashing all over the place tonight is very impressive. Some of the bolts are actually causing everything around me to be almost as bright as a sunny afternoon. We wanted to see baseball, but that'll have to wait. The beer was good, though.
