For Joe: sent to me by a friend who lives near Chicago. Note the Willis Bldg, aka Sears Tower.

 

 

At least it isn't a Miata

 

 

 

At this point, I'm fully expecting to see the Eye of Sauron appear top it.

 

 

I thought the Willis building was Nakatoni Plaza???

 

 

Someone posted the photo. I added the caption.

 

 

 

Inside..

 

 

That picture is a few days old, but that's a higher-quality version of it than I've seen.

The uppermost floor shown in it is the main lobby. The lower floor (with several feet of water) is the uppermost basement level (LL1). There are two basements below that, both of which had 8+ feet of water in them.

All of my gear is up on 98, though of course our data and fiber all go through telco gear in the basement, so we're assuming they're toast. We have a one-way microwave video link from the Studio to 98 which I assume will be fine, working on a solution for getting high-bandwidth data. We might use a Ubiquity to shoot over to our room at Hancock.


One of my personal favorite Sears photos, which I took from the roof of Hancock:
