Rain, rain, go away

Except it's coming back today.  We had unofficial totals last night somewhere north of seven inches in just a couple of  hours.  Two of the freeways were closed in both directions because of flooding.  A sinkhole opened and easily swallowed an (unoccupied) Cadillac Escalade.  Two women were struck by lightening.  The airport is closed until at least 8 a.m. due to flooding on the roads leading to it - and on the airfield itself.

Our cross-town rival has several flooded class buildings; not sure yet about MU.  Even the county bus service was suspended for a few hours last night.

And more storms are forecast for this morning.  So, where would I prefer to be stranded - at home, or at work?
