I've seen schools closed for a lot of things...snow (in Illinois, not very often) and fog (all the time in Iowa) but the kids actually had a Hurricane Day.  I don't mean to laugh.  I often think of what Harry Whitacre would say about this school district.  (For those that don't know, Harry Whitacre was the superintendant of the Peoria Public School District when I was growing up.  That man closed school for NOTHING!) 
I was really looking forward to going to my board meeting with just one with me! :(
2:30 Update:  It's been raining steadily throughout the day.  Nothing I'd even call heavy.  There's also a small breeze but no big gusts.  Basically, the kids got a day off for rain.  This sucks.
11:30 Update:  The rain continues.  According to Weather Bug down at Senseny Road School, we've only gotten 2 inches of rain but according to the bucket on the deck, we've gotten a lot more than that.  It's currently 53 degrees outside (we only got to 64 today) and winds are around 8 mph, gusting to 20 mph.  Our biggest gust has been 27 mph.  It should be ending soon, though.
