Tropical storm...in Illinois?

Tropical storm Isaac is in my neighborhood.  Very strange, indeed, to think we are getting rain and wind from what once was a hurricane.  Not the only time in my memory it has happened, though.  When Ike hit several years ago, we got some of the rain from it.  Some of that rain did a lot of damage in the town I work in on a lake dam that only recently was completely repaired.
