Milwaukee is in the center of our beautiful storm this morning and has dropped to 28.83" Hg pressure - something which could also be recorded in the middle of a Category 2 Hurricane.

UPDATE (2 PM): Here's a lightning strike map; there have been over 1,000 cloud-to-ground lightning strikes in the last 2 hours near the Pennsylvania border.
